Import and Add Recipients to Lightning Report and Dashboard Subscriptions in Slack

Subscribe to reports and dashboards to get refreshed results on set schedules. Subscriptions are set on reports and dashboards in Lightning Experience. To receive subscriptions in Slack, simply import them. After subscriptions are imported, you can share them with others in Slack.

Tip
Tip To learn more about subscriptions to reports, see Schedule and Subscribe to Reports. To learn more about subscriptions to dashboards, see Subscribe to or Schedule Dashboards.

Import Subscriptions

If you have active subscriptions in Lightning Experience, you can import them. The subscriptions are then sent to the Messages tab on the schedule you specified for the report or dashboard.

To import subscriptions:

  1. On the Home tab, click View & Manage Subscriptions.
  2. Click Import Subscriptions.

After importing subscriptions to Slack, subsequent subscriptions that you create in Lightning Experience import to Slack automatically.

Note
Note When subscriptions are imported to Slack, you're the only recipient. To add other recipients in Slack, continue with the next section, Send Subscriptions to Others.
