Slack Not Working

Slack isn't sending notifications


If Mavic isn't pushing updates to your Slack channel, try these in order.


1. Check that notifications are toggled on


A connected Slack workspace doesn't mean notifications are on. They have to be enabled per type.


  1. Integrations → Messaging → [your Slack connection]
  2. Toggle on the notification types you want (performance summaries, publish status, channel disconnect alerts)
  3. Save


2. Check the right workspace and channel


If you're in multiple Slack workspaces:


  • Verify Mavic is connected to the correct workspace
  • Verify the destination channel is the one you expected


Wrong workspace = right notifications going to a Slack you don't check.


3. Private channels need an explicit invite


If you connected to a private channel, the Mavic Slack App has to be explicitly invited.


In Slack, open the channel → /invite @Mavic → confirm. Notifications should start flowing.


4. Permissions weren't fully approved


If during the connect flow you skipped any permission, the connection is incomplete.


  • Disconnect Slack from Integrations → Messaging
  • Reconnect
  • This time, approve every permission


5. Slack App was removed


If your Slack admin removed the Mavic app from the workspace, all notifications stop.


  • Check with your Slack admin
  • Reconnect from Integrations → Messaging


6. Workspace permissions block app installs


Some Slack workspaces only allow admins to install apps. If you're not a Slack admin:


  • Ask your Slack admin to approve / install the Mavic Slack App
  • Once approved, retry the connect flow from Mavic


7. Browser blocked the auth pop-up


During the connect flow, Slack opens a pop-up. If your browser blocked it, the connection didn't complete.



Still not working?


Disconnect and reconnect once more. If that doesn't work, reach out via the in-app chat with:


  • A screenshot of the error (if any)
  • The Slack workspace name
  • The channel name
