Slack

​

What you can do

• Create tasks from Slack threads with Thread to Task
• Receive notifications when Figma libraries are published
• Get updates when tasks are approved and published

​

Requirements

• Admin permissions in your Slack workspace to install the Lyse app

​

Connect Slack

​

Configure your integration

​

Notification channel

The channel you select receives notifications each time a Figma library is published. Lyse sends a preview of the generated tasks to keep your team informed. To change the channel, go to Integrations** > Slack** and select a different channel.

​

Adding Lyse to channels

Lyse automatically joins a channel when you mention it for the first time. You can also add it manually:

1. Go to the private channel
2. Click the channel name
3. Add Lyse

​

Direct messages

Lyse doesn’t access direct messages.

​

Test your connection

1. Go to any public channel in Slack
2. Start or reply to a thread
3. Mention @Lyse
4. Check your Lyse inbox—a task should appear within seconds

​

Permissions

One workspace, one account: A Slack workspace can only be connected to one Lyse account. All members of the workspace can use Thread to Task, but tasks are sent to the inbox of the user who connected Slack from Lyse.

​

Troubleshooting

​

Authorization failed

• Problem: Slack returns an error during the OAuth flow.
• Solution: Make sure you have Admin permissions in your Slack workspace. Contact your workspace admin if needed

​

Lyse not responding

• Problem: You mention @Lyse but nothing happens.
• Solution:
  • For private channels, make sure Lyse is added as a member
  • Verify your Slack connection is active in Integrations
  • Check you’re mentioning @Lyse in a thread, not a top-level message

​

Wrong account receiving tasks

• Problem: Tasks go to a different Lyse account.
• Solution: Only one Lyse account can be connected per Slack workspace. The account that set up the integration receives all tasks.
