A: The Slack integration with Rocketlane allows for sharing project updates, but it has specific functionalities and limitations:

• Integration Setup: When setting up the Slack integration, ensure you are logged into your Slack account (via browser or app) before authorizing the Rocketlane app. You'll also need 'Account Admin' permissions in Rocketlane to configure integration settings.
• Channel Type Limitation: Currently, the Rocketlane Slack integration only supports the creation of and posting to public Slack channels. It does not offer a direct way to create or post to private channels due to Slack app limitations. If your organization prefers private channels for sensitive customer information or DPA compliance, you'll need to use existing private channels or explore workarounds.
• Automated Updates: Rocketlane is actively working on an enhancement that will enable users to set up scheduled automations to send customized Slack notifications from projects to their corresponding (already linked) Slack channels. This will allow for automated weekly summaries or other updates. You can use the 'Channel linked to this project' option when configuring these automations and tailor the notification content based on your needs.
