How to Send Contract Renewal Reminders to Slack
Short answer: Slack reminders require an eligible DocRenewal plan and a Slack integration configured by the application administrator. Connect the workspace, select a channel, enable Slack reminders in notification settings, save, and send a test message to confirm the setup.
Check plan and administrator configuration
Slack reminders are available on eligible plans, including Pro as shown in the current settings interface. The application administrator must configure Slack credentials before users can connect. If the integration is unavailable or disabled, ask your administrator or support rather than creating an unapproved webhook.
Connect the Slack workspace and choose a channel
In DocRenewal, open Settings or Integrations and select Add to Slack or Connect Slack when available. Authorize the intended workspace and choose the channel for contract reminders. Confirm that the integration status changes to Connected.
Enable reminders and test delivery
Open notification settings, turn on Send reminders to Slack, and save. Use the Send test action to verify that the message reaches the selected channel. If your workspace uses a manually configured incoming webhook, handle the webhook URL as a secret and share it only with authorized administrators.
Keep Slack alerts actionable
Assign an owner to each contract and verify its renewal and cancellation dates. Use Slack as an additional notification channel, not as the only record of a contractual deadline. Follow the notice method and timing specified by the signed agreement.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I connect Slack?
The plan may not include Slack, or the application administrator may not have configured the integration credentials. Check the connection status or contact the administrator.
Can I choose which Slack channel receives reminders?
Yes. The connection flow lets you select a channel, and you can reconnect to change it.
Does a Slack reminder send contractual notice?
No. It is a team notification. Send formal notice separately using the method required by the agreement.
