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 Screenshot 2019-12-02 at 16.48.38
