When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when your team runs onboarding conversations in per-customer Slack channels and channel creation is currently a manual, easy-to-forget step.
  • Use it when a Slack app with the conversations.create and conversations.invite scopes can be installed in your workspace, this needs Slack admin cooperation once, not per deal.

Skip it

  • Do not use it expecting the native HubSpot-Slack integration to create channels on its own, that integration posts notifications and messages, it does not create or manage channels, this fiche calls the Slack Web API directly instead.
  • Do not use it for every deal if channel sprawl is already a problem in your workspace, add an amount or plan-tier filter to the enrollment criteria first.
