Connect Aha! and Slack

Product decisions live in Aha!, but most of the company reads Slack. FlowMattic posts new releases and features to the right channel, tells an assignee when a feature is theirs, and keeps the next release date in a channel topic. For product managers who want the roadmap seen without asking people to log in.

When Aha! fires Create a release, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Aha! and Slack workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Ready-made template

Alert the product team when a release is created

The release name and date post to the product channel, so engineering and marketing know what is planned as soon as the PM sets it up.

Create a releaseSend Channel Message

View the template

DM the owner when a feature is assigned to them

Find User by Email turns the assignee's email into a Slack user, and the DM gives them the feature name, release and link.

Create a feature with an assigneeFind User by EmailSend Direct Message

Tell support when a feature is marked shipped

A Filter keeps updates where the status became shipped, and the support channel hears about it, so agents can answer customers who asked for it.

Update a featureFilterSend Channel Message

Keep the next release date in the channel topic

When a release date moves, Set Channel Topic rewrites the topic of the release channel, so the date at the top is always the current plan.

Open a channel for each new release

Create Channel makes a release channel when the release is created, giving launch planning, QA and marketing one place for that version.

Remind the PM to write release notes

Add Reminder sets a Slack reminder for the product manager a few days before the release date, so the notes are ready on launch day.

Set up: release alerts in Slack

At the end, every release created in Aha! posts its name and date to your product channel.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

Update a feature fires on any change to a feature. Use a Filter on the status or field you care about so the channel does not get every edit.
Find User by Email needs the same email in Aha! and Slack. If it finds nobody, send the message to a channel instead.
These workflows start from Aha! and post to Slack. Status changes are still made in Aha!, which keeps the roadmap the single source of truth.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Aha! and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Roadmap news reaches everyone

Sales, support and marketing see releases and shipped features in Slack without an Aha! seat.

Owners hear about their work

Assignees get a DM for their features, so the product channel is not full of personal pings.

On your server, no task count

FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a busy planning week costs nothing extra.

Common questions

How do I send Aha! updates to Slack?

Create a FlowMattic workflow with an Aha! trigger such as Create a release or Update a feature, follow its instructions so Aha! sends events to the workflow, then add Slack Send Channel Message.

Can I post only features that change status?

Yes. Start with Update a feature and add a Filter that continues only when the status field has the value you want, such as shipped or ready to develop.

Can each release get a Slack channel?

Yes. Create a release can run Create Channel. Set Channel Topic can then add the release date, and Invite User To Channel can add the team.

Can features be posted to different channels by product?

Yes. A Router after the trigger reads the product or workspace name and sends each feature to that product team's channel.

Do I need an Aha! account for every Slack user?

No. Only the Aha! account that sends the events is needed. Everyone in the Slack channel can read the messages.
