How to import Slack messages into Provoon
Direct answer
Copy the Slack message (and name), open Import, pick Slack, paste, and save. Approve it before it hits your Wall of Fame. Always get a quick yes - Slack is usually private even when the praise is loud.
Why add Slack proof this way
The warmest feedback often never leaves Slack. Capturing it in Provoon is how internal wins become external proof.
How to add a Slack story in Provoon
- 1
Copy the message from Slack
Include the helpful sentence, not the whole thread of jokes. Note the person's name.
- 2
Confirm you can publish it
A one-line ask in Slack is enough. Do not publish HR or confidential channels.
- 3
Paste under Slack in Import
Save, approve, place on the wall.
- 4
Approve it if it lands in Collected
Open Collected (or your wall inbox) and approve the Slack entry when you want it public. Nothing shows on the live wall until you say so.
- 5
Add it to your Wall of Fame
In Curate or Wall of Fame, include the story in the layout you publish. Drag it where it fits - homepage proof, pricing strip, or a dedicated love wall.
- 6
Publish and embed
Hit Publish on the wall, then Get Embed if you need the iframe on your site. Changes show up on the live embed after publish - no re-paste of the whole wall.
What gets saved
Message text and name, tagged Slack. No connection to your workspace APIs.
Practical tips
- Strip @mentions that expose internal handles if the wall is public.
- Customer Slack Connect praise is gold when they agree to share.
FAQ
Do you need a Slack app install?
No. This path is copy and paste only.
Can I import a Slack permalink?
Not as an automatic fetch. Paste the text instead.
What about screenshots of Slack?
Photo works, but typed text is cleaner and easier to redact.
