Slack integration

Connect your team’s Slack so WPInsight can post updates about your plugins right where you already work.

Paid feature. Slack integration is included on every paid plan: Starter, Growth, Business and Enterprise.

How to connect Slack

1. Go to Settings → Integrations.
2. Click Connect Slack.
3. You’ll be sent to Slack to authorize WPInsight for your workspace.
4. Pick the workspace and approve. You’ll be brought back with Slack connected.

Your Slack access is stored securely and privately per workspace — every workspace connects its own Slack independently.

How to set up a plugin’s Slack reports

Each plugin can post a report to its own channel:

1. Open a plugin and go to its Settings tab.
2. Turn on Slack for that plugin.
3. Choose the channel to post in. For a private channel, invite the WPInsight app to it first.
4. Pick a cadence:
   • Instant posts only what changed — a keyword moving, new ratings, a milestone reached, a new release — within 15 minutes of each data refresh (the daily sync, or a manual Refetch now). If nothing you selected changed, nothing is posted. The first check after you turn it on just records a starting point.
   • Daily posts a report at a time you choose; weekly on a day and time you choose. Times are in your own time zone, and the report arrives within 15 minutes of the time you set.
5. Pick what to include: a performance summary (installs, rating, downloads over the period, directory rank), keyword rank changes over the period, ratings (with new ratings since the last report), milestone progress, and new releases.
6. Click Send test message to see exactly what the report will look like, then Save integration settings.

Under the Save button you’ll see when the last report was posted, or why it failed (for example, a channel that was deleted). A failing report is retried a few times that day and again on the next scheduled day.

How to manage the connection

• Channel picker — browse and select from your Slack channels.
• Test connection — verify Slack is reachable at any time.
• Disconnect — remove the Slack connection whenever you want (this stays available even if your plan changes, so you can always clean up).
