Guide: Automate sharing articles to Slack

In this guide, we'll explore two workflows to help your organization close communication gaps and speed up response times by integrating Feedly and Slack.

Note: To connect Slack, you may need to contact your company security or web admin teams first.

Determining Your Workflow

Before we delve into the step-by-step processes, it's crucial to understand which workflow best suits your organization's needs. Your choice depends on the volume and urgency of your research requirements:

  • Manual Article Curation:
    • What it does: Sends articles to your Slack channel whenever they are saved to a particular Team Board.
    • When to Choose It: Opt for this workflow if your research involves a very high volume of articles per week.
    • Advantages: Allows for careful curation and selection of articles to prevent flooding your Slack channels with content.
    • Use Case: Ideal for organizations dealing with a vast amount of information, where quality control is essential.
  • Automated Article Delivery:
    • What it does: Sends articles to your Slack channel immediately as they appear in an AI Feed.
    • When to Choose It: If your research requirements are low volume or very high importance (automated sharing to Slack can lead to higher than desired volume if the AI Feed isn’t configured properly).
    • Advantages: Ensures immediate notifications whenever an article matches your query, enabling faster responses.
    • Use Case: Perfect for organizations that need real-time updates and rapid response to critical information.
