Slack Overview
Connect Slack with Ambition to drive employee motivation and recognition directly within your channels. Setup alerts for when employees hit milestones (100 Calls Today, New Closed/Won Deal) and leverage the Ambition Slackbot with our Slash Commands.

Ambition's Interactions with Slack
Slack alerts are established through Workflows. Ambition won't interact with/send anything to Slack that you don't explicitly setup.
For example, you can add Workflow logic to recognize employees who reach a 100+ Daily Activity Score and then send a trigger notification to to alert the #recognition channel.
Slack Authorization Types
The Ambition Slack integration offers two authorization types which impact the scope of the integration:
- Public Access (Recommended): Ambition has access to all public channels, as well as any private channels that Ambition has been explicitly invited to.
- Invite Only: Ambition only has access to channels it has been explicitly invited to.
