Linking Your Slack Account

Link Your GitDailies User and Slack User

After the GitDailies App for Slack is installed, you can link your GitDailies user account and your Slack user account.

Linking your GitDailies and Slack user accounts lets you receive Private Alerts and Personal Daily Summaries via Slack DM.

Also, when your user accounts are linked, GitDailies can @mention you by Slack username if you’re mentioned in an alert posted to a shared channel. (e.g. if a PR is waiting for your review.) This makes the alert notification appear in your Slack ‘Activity’ Tab.

Linking Your Accounts

To link your User Accounts, first navigate to the GitDailies App in Slack:
