What the Slack integration does
ClientCadence helps turn project notes and conversations from Slack into clearer client-facing updates. A connected workspace can interact with ClientCadence through direct messages, channel mentions, and the /clientcadence slash command.
Use it when important project context is already happening in Slack, but you still need to summarize progress, blockers, approvals, or next steps for a client without rebuilding the update from scratch.
Ways to use ClientCadence in Slack
- Direct-message the ClientCadence app with a project status or draft request.
- Mention
@ClientCadencein an authorized channel to summarize project notes or prepare an update. - Use
/clientcadenceto create a client-ready draft from the context you provide. - Save supported Slack requests to ClientCadence History so the result stays connected to your project workflow.
- Send an approved ClientCadence update back to a selected Slack channel from the dashboard.
Keep client communication separate from internal chat
Slack is useful for fast project conversations, but clients usually do not need every internal message, technical detail, or back-and-forth discussion. ClientCadence helps you turn the relevant project context into a shorter update focused on what changed, what needs attention, and what happens next.
You stay in control of what becomes part of the draft and what gets shared. Review generated content before sending or relying on it.
Slack commands and examples
- DM the app:
status - Slash command:
/clientcadence draft update Acme finished QA and needs approval - Channel mention:
@ClientCadence summarize Acme launch notes - Generate a draft in ClientCadence, review it, then send it to a selected Slack channel.
Example workflow
- Connect Slack from ClientCadence Settings.
- Approve the requested Slack workspace permissions.
- For channel mentions, invite the ClientCadence app to the channel.
- Send a direct message, mention ClientCadence, or use the
/clientcadencecommand with the project context you want summarized. - Review the generated draft before sharing it.
- Save supported requests to History and associate them with a matching project when appropriate.
- Continue editing in ClientCadence or send an approved update back to Slack.
Permissions and workspace control
ClientCadence uses Slack's authorized app installation flow. Your workspace approves the requested permissions without sharing Slack passwords with ClientCadence.
Slack access is used to receive app mentions, receive direct messages to the ClientCadence app, respond in Slack, and list public channels when you choose to send an approved update. Slack workspace settings, channel access, provider availability, and Slack policy requirements may affect how the integration works.
Free availability and control
Slack is available as a ClientCadence integration on Free, Pro, and Agency workspaces. Your normal workspace generation and usage limits still apply.
Users choose when to ask ClientCadence for a draft and when to send an approved update. You can disconnect Slack from Settings at any time; workspace admins can also remove the app directly from Slack.
