Keep E-mail and Slack updated automatically.
This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in E-mail lands in Slack by itself, in the shape Slack expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.
What this connector takes off your hands
-
Today you only hear something came in when someone happens to open the other system. Whatever really matters gets pasted into a channel by hand, or not at all.
What E-mail to Slack saves you
- Get a Slack message for every message arriving via E-mail.
What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between E-mail and Slack, and how often.

Notifications
to Slack automaticallyFrom this you get a short message in Slack in the channel you choose, one line on what happened, so you see it at once without logging in anywhere.
What each side expects
E-mail and Slack do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Slack
Slack needs to know which channel a notification belongs in. A message is only useful when one line says what happened, so nobody has to click through to learn whether it is urgent.

Common questions
Can you connect E-mail to Slack?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of E-mail and Slack, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Can I choose which events send me a Slack message?
Yes. You decide which events from E-mail produce a message, for instance a new order but not a stock change.
Which Slack channel do the notifications land in?
The channel you choose. You can also send different kinds of notification to different channels, so it does not become one big stream.
What does connecting E-mail and Slack cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does E-mail sync with Slack?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
Do I get one Slack message per event or a summary?
By default it is one short message per event, one line on what is happening. If you would rather have a digest, we settle that when setting it up.
What if E-mail or Slack is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
How do I connect E-mail to Slack?
You give Schakel access to E-mail and Slack once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what E-mail and Slack should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
