Slack

The Slack integration enables evalink to automatically notify users of a designated Slack channel when a particular workflow is triggered or an incoming alarm is activated.

Slack Integration in evalink

The Slack integration streamlines communication by connecting evalink directly with your team’s Slack workspace. Whenever a workflow is triggered or an alarm is received in evalink, automatic notifications are sent to a designated Slack channel.

Supported features:

  • Alarm notifications – incoming alarms are instantly posted to Slack
  • Workflow triggers – automated messages when specific workflows run in evalink
  • Channel-based communication – alerts can be routed to different Slack channels depending on teams, shifts, or scenarios
  • Interactive collaboration – operators and team members can react, comment, and coordinate responses directly within Slack

Typical use cases:

  • Mass notifications to all employees or building occupants during emergencies
  • Targeted alerts to specific people or teams, e.g. security staff or on-call technicians
  • BMS alerts – forwarding building management system notifications to defined groups
  • Forwarding of events from industrial building control systems (BMS, SCADA, IoT) directly into Slack for faster awareness and action

Key benefits of the integration:

  • Faster team awareness and response to alarms and events
  • Reduced communication gaps through real-time alerts in Slack
  • Clear audit trail of notifications inside both evalink and Slack
  • Easy setup – connect evalink to your Slack workspace in just a few steps

With the Slack integration, evalink becomes more than an alarm management platform: it turns into a collaboration hub for safety, security, and building automation. Ensuring that the right people are informed at the right time, and that responses are fast, coordinated, and transparent.
