Connect Slack
Last updated: October 5, 2026
Connect your Slack account to Rally to get real-time notifications from RallyBot about participant activity, study progress, and interviews.
Slack is a personal integration, so each Rally user connects their own account. Your notifications are sent only to you, as direct messages from RallyBot, for the studies, forms, and participants you're involved with.
Connect your Slack account
Steps
Navigate to Settings > Connected Accounts.
Select Connect Slack.
In the popup window, sign in to the Slack workspace you want to connect.
Review the requested permissions, listed in the table below, and select Allow.
The popup closes automatically and Slack shows as connected on the Connected Accounts page.

When you connect your Slack account, Rally asks for the following permissions:
