Add to Slack: How to integrate Zenhub with Slack

Want to see important GitHub project updates from wherever you are? Enter Zenhub‘s Slack integration.

Integrating Zenhub with Slack gives you on-the-go updates on the status of your GitHub projects. Powered by the super-simple Add to Slack button, you can pair it with GitHub’s Slack integration for an even more complete picture of your development team’s activity.

The Zenhub integration will keep you updated on key project changes so you can stay in the loop across any device. You can be updated when…

• An issue changes from one pipeline to another (i.e. from “Backlog” to “In Progress”)
• An estimate is set, updated, or cleared
• An issue is reprioritized (moved up or down in a pipeline)
