What you can do in Slack
Four ways the record meets you in the channel.
Slack and the web app read from the same record. What you ask in the channel, the web app already knows.
Basic Chat
liveStart with an @theadspend mention.
Mention @theadspend in any channel and ask about an account in plain English. The answer comes with the evidence behind it, and recent web conversations are there to reopen.
Alerts
liveConfigured alerts, delivered to your channel.
Threshold and forecast alerts posted to the channel that owns the account, with the affected account and period in the message. Frequency is yours to set.
Reports
liveStakeholder-ready rundowns, on schedule.
Scheduled rundowns posted to the channels you choose, on the cadence you choose. Same report as the web app, same evidence.
Optimizer approvals
private betaReview every account-changing action.
A proposed change arrives with its target, the edit, and the expected effect. Approve or dismiss from the thread. Nothing runs until you do.
Setup
Connected in minutes, quiet by default.
Connect Slack
Add The Ad Spend to your workspace in a couple of clicks. One person connects it; the whole team can use it. Unlimited seats, no licenses.
Pick channels & cadence
Set the organization's default channel, then route individual alerts and reports wherever they belong. Alert frequency and report schedules are separate settings.
Work from Slack
Mention @theadspend in any channel to start a conversation. Alerts and reports land where you pointed them, and approvals wait for you in the thread.
Slack questions
Answers, not gestures.
- How do I start a conversation?
- Mention @theadspend in any channel of a connected workspace and ask. Threads keep the context, so follow-up questions build on the last answer.
- Is Basic Chat the same as the full assistant?
- Basic Chat answers questions about your accounts and is live today, with limited use on Starter. The full assistant can also take actions on reports and alerts when you confirm them; it is in private beta.
- Are Microsoft Teams notifications available?
- Yes, in beta. Alerts and reports can be delivered to Teams. Chat stays in Slack and the web app for now.
- Do I have to leave Slack to use it?
- For the day-to-day, no. Questions, alerts, reports, and approvals all happen in the channel. Account setup and the full History view live in the web app.
- Does a recommendation change my campaigns?
- Not until you approve it. Optimizer proposes the change in the thread, you approve or dismiss, and the execution result posts back so you can see it landed.
- Can I control notification volume?
- Yes. Each alert has its own condition, scope, destination, and frequency. Reports have their own schedules. A pacing alert and a Monday rundown do not need to arrive the same way.
- Can I control which channels get what?
- Set a default channel in Settings, then override it per alert or report. Agencies route each client's notifications from that client's organization settings.
