Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Connecting Buska.io to Slack

Q1: What if I don't see the option to connect to Slack in my Buska.io settings?

A: Ensure you're subscribed to the "ultimate" plan on Buska.io, as the Slack integration feature is only available on this plan. If you're already on the ultimate plan and still can't see the option, try refreshing the page or contact Buska.io support for further assistance.

Q2: How can I change the Slack channel for Buska.io notifications after setup?

A: If you wish to change the Slack channel where you receive Buska.io notifications, you'll need to create a new webhook in Slack for the desired channel and then update the integration settings in Buska.io with the new webhook URL. Remember to disable the previous webhook in Slack to prevent duplicate notifications.

Q3: Can I customize the content of the notifications sent to Slack?

A: Yes, during the workflow creation process in Slack, when you're setting up the message that will be sent to your channel, you can customize the content of the notification. Use the variable you configured to dynamically insert information into the message. Note that the level of customization might be limited by the type of information Buska.io sends through the webhook and the formatting options available in Slack.
