Delivery

Slack

BetaBeta, for tracked brands (paid plans are not open yet)

What it does

After each weekly check of a tracked brand, RulerIQ posts one message to a Slack channel you choose: your Score and what changed since last week, the top 3 fixes with their status, any fixes a later check has verified, any wrong prices engines state, and a link to your fix list. The words are written by code from your results, not by an AI model.

Beta

The connection works, but paid plans are not open yet and delivery is limited to the private beta. You need a tracked brand to connect Slack.

Set it up

  1. In RulerIQ, open Connect data (or Settings, Keys and connections) and click Connect Slack.
  2. Slack asks you to sign in and approve the RulerIQ app for your workspace. Pick the channel the digest should go to in the same screen. For a private channel you must already be a member. Some workspaces need an admin to approve new apps.
  3. Back in RulerIQ the card shows the workspace and channel. Click Send test to post a clearly labelled test message.

What RulerIQ can and can't access

RulerIQ asks for a single permission, Add incoming webhooks to a channel (incoming-webhook). Slack shows a channel picker for it during install and gives the app a way to post to that one channel and nothing else. We chose it over broader permissions (chat:write plus reading your channel list) because it needs the least access: RulerIQ cannot read messages, list channels or members, join channels or post anywhere else. Your Slack password is never shared with us.

The Slack token is held by our connection provider, Nango, not stored in RulerIQ's database. RulerIQ keeps only a connection id and the channel and workspace names so the card can show them.

If it stops working

If the channel is archived, the app is removed, or access is revoked, the next delivery fails, the card shows Needs reconnecting, and weekly posting pauses until you click Reconnect Slack. We never re-run your check because a delivery failed. A temporary Slack outage is retried a few times and then skipped until the next weekly check.

Disconnect and revoke

Click Disconnect on the card. RulerIQ deletes the connection at Nango (the token is gone) and forgets the channel. Messages already posted stay in Slack.

To remove the app from Slack as well: in Slack, open Apps (or your workspace's Manage apps page), choose RulerIQ, and remove it. Workspace admins can do the same from the admin console. To change the channel, disconnect and connect again.
