Change Crowdin Slack Bot to post into a group conversation

General Questions
1

Hello,

Currently we could only see Crowdin notifications in 1:1 conversation with the bot, although the bot remains silent if it is added into a group conversation.
We’d like the bot to post same updates into group conversations where it participates as well, but not sure how to setup it or if it is possible in general.

Hi @appium

Do you use an in-build Slack connector or Slack for Managers?

Also, what are the events you’d like to be notified about? Maybe this app will work better for your case?

Hello @Dima

I have configured the integration using the below tutorial: Notifications | Crowdin Docs

The system shows the bot is successfully connected and I am able to see bot notifications in 1:1 conversation with it like it was described above. These notifications have been also selected from global notification settings, e.g. Language Progress, New Strings, etc.

Now I’ve added the same bot to a group Slack chat, although it remains silent there and does not post any notifications like it does in 1:1.

Hi @appium if you want the notifications from Crowdin to be sent to a channel (not to you personally for example) please use the app Slack + Crowdin | Deliver Crowdin events into Slack

Thanks @Ira

I’ve tried to follow the above tutorial and I cannot make it work. The “Slack for Managers” app simply does not appear under Project->Tools after being successfully installed. I assume this is happening because our project is an open source one, and the app requires webhook/enterprise features to be available.

Hi @appium please check the access to the app here Crowdin
only the person who is granted access there will be able to see the app

It looks like there might be a bug. I can see the app if I set the access for myself only. However I cannot see it if I select custom people from the users list. It also does not work if I select myself from that list, which is weird, because I assume org owners should always be able to access installed apps.

Hi @appium even if you are the account owner, app will be visible only to the assigned users if you choose custom access
