Evidence in the channel where work happens.

Push a recap after the call, or a set of approved findings after review, and the message arrives formatted: severity markers, verbatim quotes, and links that open the exact moment. Setup is two minutes and one channel invite.

Setup

Five steps.

Public channels work out of the box; private channels need one /invite.

  1. STEP 01

    Open the integrations settings

    Settings, then Integrations under Push destinations. Connecting needs a workspace admin or owner - and, on the Slack side, permission to install an app in the Slack workspace (some workspaces route this through admin approval).

  2. STEP 02

    Connect Slack

    On the Slack card, choose Connect and approve the requested access: posting messages and reading the channel list, shown in the dialog before you approve. Connecting posts nothing.

  3. STEP 03

    Pick the channel

    The picker lists your channels live. Public channels work immediately. Private channels appear only after you invite the Citesvue app to them in Slack (/invite in the channel), which is deliberate - a private channel opts in explicitly.

  4. STEP 04

    Confirm the card reads connected

    The card shows the Slack workspace name and the chosen channel. Nothing is posted until you push something.

  5. STEP 05

    Send something

    From any recording: push a finding, a set of findings, the recap, or a cited Q&A answer. The app confirms "Queued", and the message lands formatted - severity markers, per-finding evidence quotes, and links that open the exact moment in Citesvue.

What you can send

Four kinds of content, formatted for the channel.

A single finding

Type, severity, title, description, and the evidence quote, with a link to the moment.

A set of findings

One message, severity-ordered. Very large sets say "and N more findings" with a link to the rest rather than flooding the channel.

Recap

Overview, decisions, action items with owners, and topics - readable in the channel without opening anything.

A cited Q&A answer

The question, the answer, and each citation with its quote and timestamped link.

Transcripts and full reports are not Slack content - a channel is the wrong place for 12,000 words. Send those to Notion or export them, and let Slack carry the things a channel acts on.

When it goes wrong

The errors say what to do, verbatim.

Slack failures are almost always channel membership. The messages name the fix.

  • "Citesvue is not a member of that channel"

    Invite the app to the channel in Slack, or pick a public channel. This is the most common failure and the fix is one /invite.

  • "That Slack channel no longer exists or the app cannot see it"

    The channel was deleted, archived, or made private without inviting the app. Pick the channel again from the card.

  • "That Slack channel is archived"

    Archived channels cannot receive messages. Pick an active channel.

  • "Reconnect needed" on the card

    The Slack authorisation was revoked or the app was removed from the workspace. Reconnect from the card.

Common questions

Slack integration, answered.

  • A paid Citesvue plan to push (connecting works on every plan), the workspace admin role in Citesvue, and permission to install apps in your Slack workspace - or a Slack admin willing to approve it.
  • Connecting over Slack sign-in posts nothing. The one exception: if you connect by pasting a Slack incoming-webhook URL instead, Citesvue sends a single confirmation message, because that is the only way a webhook can be checked.
  • Yes, once the Citesvue app is invited to that channel in Slack. Private channels never appear in the picker before the invite - membership is the permission.
  • No. Slack deliveries are notifications: each push posts a new message, so the channel history reflects what was shared when. For a canonical, updatable record, deliver to Notion or a tracker alongside.
  • A workspace holds one Slack connection with one chosen channel at a time. Point it at the channel where findings get acted on; admins can change the channel from the card whenever needed.

valuable asset.

Or it could sit in a Drive folder nobody opens again. The difference is whether it has citations attached.
