Connect Trello with Slack - get notified on Slack only when I am tagged on Trello cards

Question

Hi,

I would like to know to connect Trello with Slack - get notified on Slack only when I am tagged on Trello cards.

I went through all these steps:

But I am still not notified when I am tagged only in cards.

Thank you.

We don't have a built-in automatic notification for a deadline on a card, but there are few options. The first would the list general Slack notifications. These are configured in the same place as mention notifications, but you would click the Add Slack alert button instead. These are sent to a Slack channel of your choice. The other option is to use Automation. Out automation tool lets you create messages in Slack - the snag is that DMs don't create notifications since they appear to be coming from yourself. The best workaround I’d recommend for this particular use case would be to ask each person that wants Slack notifications to create a public or private channel, invite the Butler bot such that the only people in the channel are yourself and Butler bot, and have the Butler command send a message to the channel “as Butler”, and using Slack’s or notation to trigger a notification to be send to everyone in the channel based on the due date of a card. Something like: 1 day before a card assigned to me is due, post message {cardlink} to Slack channel "trello-notifications" as myself You can also include @ mentions using Slack's markdown like this, but again, it doesn't create a Slack notification for a DM: <@SlackUsername> We have a bit more detail on using Slack with our Automation tool here: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/using-the-jira-and-slack-integrations/

Thanks Cody, also how can each one of our team get notified on Slack when there is a deadline on a task attributed to them on a card?

Of course, glad to help out! They should be able to follow those same steps. Each person would need to enable Mention notifications through the Slack Power-Up on the board they'd like to receive notifications from.
