    FAQs

    How do I set up the XTM Slack integration?

    The Slack translation integration takes just a few minutes to configure. Simply connect your XTM Cloud account to Slack through our integrations page, choose which channels should receive notifications, and select the types of updates you want to see. Our setup wizard guides you through each step, and you can customise notification settings anytime.

    What types of notifications can I receive in Slack?

    You'll get real-time alerts for project status changes, job completions, task assignments, deadline updates, and quality assurance results. The Slack translation plugin lets you choose exactly which events trigger notifications, so your channels only show the updates that matter to your team's workflow.

    Can I route different notifications to different Slack channels?

    Yes, the XTM Slack app supports channel-based routing. You can send project manager updates to one channel, translator notifications to another, and client-facing updates to a separate channel. This keeps your Slack workspace organised and ensures the right people see relevant translation updates.

    Does the Slack localization integration work for distributed teams?

    Absolutely. The integration is designed for global teams working across time zones. Team members receive instant notifications in their Slack workspace regardless of location, keeping everyone aligned on translation progress. This is especially valuable for distributed localization teams who rely on Slack for daily collaboration and project coordination.
