Get Slack notifications of new comments and mentions on your boards and other changes related to your profile, easily share your Miro boards from within Slack, and automatically unfurl board links. Read the article to learn how to connect your Slack to Miro and get access to all the nice features.
✏️ Some Slack users are suggested to seamlessly register with Miro via Slack when clicking a link to a Miro board posted in a Slack channel. The feature is currently in beta and managed by Slack. It does not require our application to be installed in the Slack workspace.
Workspace administrators have the option to completely disable the Sign in with Slack feature in the Slack workspace settings (App Management Settings > Sign in with Slack Settings). Enterprise Grid Org and their workspaces are excluded from the launch during beta.
✏️ For support with the Slack app, email slack_integration_support@miro.com or visit How to contact Miro support.

- a board is shared with you
- there's a new comment on your board or a reply to your comment on a board

Keep in mind that in some cases the notification will be sent to you only if the notifier decides to send it out.
Reacting to notifications right in Slack

Granting access to a board in the Slack channel
Unfurling board links
The latest version of Miro Slack app unfurls links to Miro boards by adding the board names, descriptions, and board thumbnails.

Reinstall your Slack integration to get access to the feature: go to Miro Profile settings > Integrations and click Log out next to Miro Feed (Slack App). Then click Connect and re-authorize.
✏️ To re-authorize, you may need to receive approval from the Slack Workspace admin.
To set a board thumbnail, access your Miro board and open the board information card by clicking the title in the upper-left corner of your board. On the pop-up window, click the image in the upper-left corner and upload a picture from your device or select a section from the board. The thumbnail will then appear in Slack when you share the board link.

Sharing a board from Slack
When posting a board link in Slack you will see a notification showing the users that don't have access to the board. You can easily invite them to the board right via Slack. Feel free to make the board public so that anyone with the link can view/comment it.

Frequently asked questions and possible issues
1. If a user adds Miro to Slack, will Miro be able to read their Slack channels?
- No, Miro will just view basic information about public channels in the workspace. It means that Miro will be able to read the list of channel names and won't be able to read the channel messages.
2. I am getting 'Something went wrong' message when trying to connect the Miro Feed for Slack.
- Please check if your browser is allowing pop-ups from the miro.com domain. There may be an extra page asking for app permissions.
3. I am not getting Miro-Slack notifications and re-installing the Miro app in Slack does not help. How can I fix it?
- Please try to re-connect Miro and Slack on Miro's side (Profile settings > Integrations).
