P4 Code Review Slack Integration

P4 Code Review features an official Slack integration. The integration makes it easier for your team to stay informed about what is happening by automatically posting updates from Code Review into specified Slack channels. In addition, the integration also works on the free version of Slack.

How the Slack Integration Works

The Slack integration works by quickly distributing notifications to your team’s preferred channels and tailored to meet your team’s specific needs. This can include: 

  • Notifications sent to administrator-specified channels — including private channels.
  • Review notifications.
  • Responses to previous posts when a review is updated.  

Without the P4 Code Review Slack integration, the developer in the example screenshot would either have had to rely on email notifications to communicate those updates. However, email notifications are easily missed and not too collaborative.
