Integrations
Slack + Asset Panda Pro
Send real-time Asset Panda Pro notifications to Slack users and channels when important record changes or audits occur.
Key benefits
-
Spend less time chasing updates
Bring important asset notifications into Slack so teams can spot changes without relying on follow-up emails or status meetings.
-
Focus on the changes that matter
Use automation triggers, conditions, and field-change rules to surface selected asset activity instead of notifying everyone about every update.
-
Keep the right people informed
Send alerts to a designated Slack user or relevant channel, giving teams a shared place to see and discuss asset-related activity.
What can trigger a Slack notification?
Asset Panda Pro uses automation rules to send notifications to Slack. Supported trigger scenarios include:
| Automation event | Example of what teams can be notified about |
|---|---|
| Record created | A new equipment or device record is added. |
| Record updated | An existing asset record changes, including a specified field when field-change rules are used. |
| Record deleted | A record is removed from a selected collection. |
| Record audited | A record is included in an audit. |
| Audit closed | An asset audit is finalized. |
This integration sends notifications; it is not a two-way synchronization of asset records and Slack conversations.
How the Slack integration works
-
Create and authorize a Slack app
Use Slack’s API portal to create an app for your workspace, add the required user and bot token scopes, install the app, and copy the User OAuth Token and Bot User OAuth Token.
-
Connect Slack in Asset Panda Pro
In Settings > Account Management, open the relevant module’s Integrations area and add Slack. Enter both tokens, then select Test and save connection.
-
Set the notification rule
Create an automation, choose the record or audit event, and apply any relevant conditions or field-change criteria. Select Slack notification as the notification action.
-
Choose recipients and activate
Choose the Slack user or channel that should receive the alert, save the automation, and activate it. For private channels, invite the required Slack user and bot.

Frequently asked questions
Can Asset Panda Pro send alerts to Slack direct messages and private channels?
Yes. Notifications can go to individual Slack users or public and private channels. Private channels require the appropriate user and bot to be invited.
Which asset events can trigger Slack notifications?
Automations support events such as records being created, updated, deleted, or audited, as well as an audit being closed. You can also apply conditions to narrow when alerts are sent.
Can I limit alerts to specific record changes?
Yes. Automation conditions and field-change specifications let you target selected changes instead of sending an alert for every record update.
Does the Slack integration sync data back into Asset Panda Pro?
The documented integration sends notifications from Asset Panda Pro to Slack. Updates to Asset Panda records based on Slack messages or replies are not documented as part of this integration.
What do I need to connect Asset Panda Pro and Slack?
You need administrator access in Asset Panda Pro, permission to configure a Slack app, and both the User OAuth Token and Bot User OAuth Token. The official setup guide provides the required scopes and connection steps.
Are Slack asset notifications delivered in real time?
Asset Panda Pro describes its Slack notifications as real-time updates triggered by automations. Delivery depends on the configured rule; a specific maximum delivery time is not stated in the documentation.
