How Do I Connect Slack to Ambition?

Last updated: November 13, 2026

Ambition needs to be authorized in your Slack workspace before Workflows can post there and before anyone can use the /ambition slash commands. During setup, you'll pick between Public Access and Invite Only, which decides which channels Ambition can reach.

Required permissions:

  • The Integrations: Edit permission is required to enable and authorize the Slack integration.

  • Permission to install apps in your Slack workspace is required to authorize the integration in Slack.

Enable the Slack Integration

  1. Go to Admin --> Data --> Integrations.

  2. Click on the Available tab.

  3. Find the Slack integration and click on Enable. You'll then be taken to the integration's Settings page.

Authorize Ambition in Slack

  1. In the integration's side menu, click on Authorization.

  2. Pick an authorization type:

    1. Public Access (Recommended): Ambition can post in all public channels and in private channels it's invited to.

    2. Invite Only: Ambition can only post in channels it's invited to.

  3. Click on Authorize under the type you picked. Slack will open.

  4. Click on Allow. You'll then be taken back to Ambition, where the panel will read "Ambition is connected to your Slack workspace".

Note:

  • If you use Ambition inside Salesforce, authorize from your standalone Ambition site instead. Salesforce blocks the Slack sign-in page.
