Slack integration
Integrating cubic with Slack keeps your team updated with real-time pull request notifications directly in Slack.
Why integrate with Slack?
Slack integration helps your team stay on top of PR reviews, comments, and merges by delivering updates where your team already collaborates. It eliminates the need to switch contexts, ensuring faster PR turnaround and better collaboration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will I get notifications for PRs created before I installed the Slack integration?
Yes, once you’ve authorised the Slack integration, you’ll start receiving notifications for updates to all PRs, including those that were created before the app was installed. So you won’t miss anything, even on older PRs.
Who receives notifications for a PR?
Anyone listed as a “reviewer” on the PR will get notified for all three types: review requests, new comments, and merges. Additionally, anyone following the PR (for example, if you’ve commented on the PR or merged code into it) will also receive these notifications.
Can I customize the notifications I receive?
Currently, you can’t fine-tune which notifications you get. However, more granular controls (org-wide or per-user) are on our roadmap, as we understand this would be super helpful.
Disconnecting Slack
To disconnect Slack from cubic:
