      How to add MASV notifications to Slack

      Receive MASV package notifications in Slack

      Team Owners or Admins (roles) can integrate MASV with Slack so that MASV package and team notifications are sent to Slack.

      You can specify:

      • Slack channel or Slack contacts

      • Notification types (team status and package status)

      • MASV Portal(s) for which you want to receive notifications

      What types of MASV notifications are available?

      The following types of notifications are available:

      Team status

      • New member joined
      • Team cancellation messages
      • Alerts (limits etc..)

      Package status

      • Upload completed
      • Download started
      • Download completed
      • Package received
      • Package delivered to integration (connected storage)
      • Package delivery error

      You can choose which notifications you and your team receive to ensure the most important information is communicated.

      Examples:

      • Receive notifications only when new packages are received so that your Team can download them as soon as possible.
      • Receive notifications only when new packages have been delivered to a MASV integration (such as Amazon S3, Frame.io, …).
      • Map a project-specific Slack channel to a project-specific MASV Portal. This ensures that only notifications relevant to the project are posted to Slack.

      You can connect MASV with as many Slack channels or contacts as you like. You can also edit the notification settings for a Slack channel at any time or delete your connection with a channel if no longer needed.

      Important: If you use Teamspaces to subdivide your MASV Team into groups, set up your Slack channel accordingly (i.e. Channel should include one or more of the users in the corresponding Teamspace, and not include users who are not in the Teamspace).

      Note: Download Completed messages can be delayed by up to a couple of hours after the download is finished, depending on the download method.
