Slack + Flywheel Add-on

Updated on March 8th, 2023

Nothing’s worse than finding out a team member pushed changes to production too early or that your site’s not caching because Development Mode has been left on for too long. So we’re making it easier than ever to keep track of key site changes and to help your team stay in the know with our new and improved Slack Add-on!

Real-time updates

Our (free!) Slack Add-on meets you where you work and provides real-time updates about your sites on Flywheel. From site-specific warnings to alerts about new features, you’ll get Slack notifications on your site activity so you’re always up-to-date.

Custom notifications

We know that some sites require a little more attention than others, so we’re giving you the power to pick and choose which sites, and what types of notifications you want to hear about.

Choose from our list of notifications:

When a staging site is pushed to production or reset
When Simple SSL is added, removed or expired
When a backup is restored
When “Development Mode” has been left on for too long
When WP_DEBUG has been left on for too long
When new Product Updates are released
And more!!

How do I connect to Slack?

To get started, follow these simple steps:

Enable Add-on

Navigate to our Global Add-ons page and select “Enable” on the Slack Add-on.

Connect Slack

Connect to your Slack workspace and choose the channel you want notifications sent to.

Set your notifications

Choose which sites you want to receive notifications on as well as what notifications you want to receive.

And that’s it! You’ll start receiving Slack notifications in the channel you selected.

We’re so excited to continue optimizing the Slack Add-on so you can have peace of mind and quickly get key information about your sites! If you have any questions along the way, feel free to reach out to our support team.
