Notification controls
Current notification controls facts for Slash Social.
Notification controls let each teammate tune which Slack alerts they receive. Admins, creators, and approvers can adjust preferences from the Settings work center so approvals, failures, digests, and inbox events match how the team works.
What it includes
Notification controls live in the Settings work center. The feature is in beta and available on the Team and Scale plans (not on Free or Starter).
Each user manages their own notification preferences. Supported adjustments include:
| Control | Effect |
|---|---|
| Enable / disable | Turn routine alert types on or off per user |
| Digest | Batch non-critical alerts into digest delivery instead of immediate messages |
| Quiet hours | Delay non-critical alerts outside your chosen window |
| Snooze | Pause routine alerts until the snooze window ends |
Critical alert types bypass user preference suppression. These include publishing failures, approval requests, billing notices, security alerts, system errors, and admin workflow blockers. Slack workspace permissions, routing misconfiguration, or delivery outages can still prevent a message from arriving.
How to use it
- Type
/socialand open Settings. - Open Notifications or Notification preferences.
- Adjust individual notification types, or use category controls when the modal groups them.
- Save your changes. Preference updates apply to your Slack user in the org.
To confirm a change worked, adjust one preference, trigger an event of that type, and check that the next alert follows the setting you saved. For critical types, confirm delivery even when related routine types are disabled.

Routine preferences do not block critical alerts. If expected messages never arrive, check Slack channel permissions and workspace connectivity before changing preferences again.
