Connecting Slack brings UPBEAT OS activity into your workspace. Beat sends daily performance digests, notifies you when Autopilot generates new drafts, and pings you when content-related actions need your attention — all in a channel of your choosing.

​
What this integration enables

Once connected, you’ll receive Slack notifications for:
  • Daily digest — A morning summary of your content activity, upcoming scheduled posts, and any strategy highlights
  • Autopilot drafts — A notification whenever Beat Autopilot generates a new draft, with the article title and a link to review it
  • Content alerts — Notifications when something in your content pipeline needs attention (e.g., scheduled posts with issues, drafts that have been sitting for a while)
You stay in UPBEAT OS for all the actual work — Slack is where you get the heads-up.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Slack workspace where you have permission to add apps (you don’t need to be an admin, but some workspaces restrict app installs to admins only)
  • A channel where you want Beat to post (a private channel like #beat-updates works great)

​
How to connect

1

Open Settings and scroll to **Integrations**

Navigate to /app/settings in UPBEAT OS.
2

Find the Slack card

Scroll to the Slack section and click Connect.
3

Authorize with Slack

You’ll be redirected to Slack’s OAuth screen. Select the workspace you want to connect (if you’re in multiple workspaces), review the requested permissions, and click Allow.
4

Select a channel

After authorizing, choose the Slack channel where Beat should post notifications. You can select any channel you’re a member of.
5

Confirm the connection

You’ll be returned to the Integrations page. The Slack card should show a green Connected status with your workspace name and selected channel.

​
What you’ll see once connected

  • A confirmation message appears in your selected Slack channel shortly after connecting
  • Daily digests arrive on weekday mornings with your content summary
  • Autopilot draft notifications land in the channel as soon as Beat finishes generating a draft
  • Each notification includes a direct link back to the relevant page in UPBEAT OS

​
Configuring notification preferences

Go to Settings → Notifications to control which types of Slack notifications you receive and at what frequency. You can disable specific notification types without disconnecting Slack entirely.

​
How to disconnect

Open Settings and scroll to Integrations, find the Slack card, and click Disconnect. Notifications will stop immediately. Your Slack workspace is unaffected — UPBEAT OS is just removed as an app.

​
Troubleshooting

Beat isn’t posting in my channel: Make sure Beat has been added to the channel. In Slack, open the channel, click the channel name, go to Integrations → Apps, and confirm UPBEAT OS is listed. If not, add it. I’m not getting daily digests: Check Settings → Notifications to confirm digests are enabled. Digests are sent on weekdays only — there are no weekend digests. Notifications are going to the wrong channel: Disconnect and reconnect Slack to select a different channel.
