Sending Slack notifications when data is updated in HullUpdated 02/12/2019

Hull's Slack connector allows sending notifications in a channel or in a private message in Slack based on events occurring in Hull.

How to send User notifications

Once you have installed the connector and connected it to your Slack account, go to the Slack User Notification Triggers.

First, select the trigger inside the Trigger dropdown. You have two types of triggers:

• Built-in events: these are User Entered in a Segment and User left a Segment
• Custom events: these are the events that you captured inside Hull

Then, choose on which User segments, these triggers apply. You can choose either on All Users or on a particular Segment inside Hull.

The next step is to choose the user or the channel to which you want to send the notification. You can do so inside the @user or #channel dropdown.

Finally, you can customize the message you want to send using the Liquid Language. You can find more information about Liquid here 👉 https://shopify.github.io/liquid/.
