Slack alerts for survey responses

Connect Slack to any survey and get notified on every response, or only when specific answers match a condition you define.

Overview

You can now send survey responses straight to Slack. Connect your workspace once in Project Settings, then configure alerts per survey: forward everything, or filter by answer so only the responses that matter show up in your channel.

What’s New

  • Slack integration: Connect your Slack workspace from Project Settings under Integrations. One connection per project covers all surveys.
  • Per-survey alert configuration: Each survey has its own “Response alerts” config, accessible from the survey list menu. Enable or disable independently without touching other surveys.
  • Two delivery modes: Forward every completed response to Slack, or use condition-based filtering to notify only when a specific answer matches.
  • Condition builder: Set conditions on any rating, NPS, long text, or choice question in your survey. Multiple conditions are evaluated as OR — any match fires the alert.

When to use it

Every response works well for low-volume surveys or any time you want the full picture: new user onboarding surveys, churn flows, post-demo feedback. You see each response as it comes in, no setup beyond connecting Slack and picking a channel.

Condition-based alerts are better when response volume is high or the signal-to-noise ratio matters. A few examples where filtering earns its keep:

  • NPS detractors only (score ≤ 6): route to a #churn-risk channel for immediate follow-up
  • Churn survey: only alert when someone selects “Missing a feature I need” as the exit reason
  • Feature adoption survey: alert when a user says they were unaware of a capability your team just shipped

You can add multiple conditions to the same survey. Any single match triggers the notification.

What this means for you

  • No more manual response exports or daily dashboard checks to catch urgent feedback. The responses that require action come to where your team already works.
  • The Slack connection lives at the project level, so you only authorize once. Each survey then controls its own destination channel and filter rules.
