Slack
Get real-time render notifications and alerts in your Slack channels
The Orshot Slack integration delivers notifications directly to your Slack workspace. Get notified about completed renders, usage alerts, and errors — all without leaving Slack.
Connecting Slack
- Navigate to Workspace > Settings > Connections in your Orshot dashboard
- Click Connect next to Slack
- Select the Slack workspace and channel where you want notifications
- Authorize Orshot to post messages
For private channels, you'll need to invite the Orshot bot after connecting by
typing /invite @Orshot in your channel.
Notification Options
Once connected, you can customize which notifications you receive:
Send Renders to Slack
When enabled, every rendered image, PDF, or video is posted directly to your Slack channel. The file is uploaded with a link to view logs.
Enabling this for high-volume workloads may increase your infrastructure costs due to file upload bandwidth.
Overage Alerts
Get notified when:
- Overage starts — You've exceeded your plan's render quota and are using overage renders
- Overage limit reached — You've hit your overage limit and renders are blocked
This is enabled by default.
Error Alerts
Receive notifications when a render fails. The message includes:
- Template name
- Error status code
- Error message
- Link to view logs
This is enabled by default.
Usage Threshold Alerts
Set percentage thresholds (50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%) to get notified when your monthly usage crosses those levels. Useful for monitoring usage before hitting limits.
Managing the Connection
Enable/Disable Notifications
Use the Enabled toggle to pause all Slack notifications without disconnecting. Your settings are preserved.
Send Test Notification
Click Send Test to verify your Slack connection is working correctly.
Disconnect
Click Disconnect to remove the Slack integration. This revokes Orshot's access to your Slack workspace.
