Integration with Slack, Desktop
Notifications, and API

Hel­lo, friends!

We want to intro­duce a few cool updates dur­ing this hot summer.

Desk­top Notifications

If you use Chrome, you can now receive noti­fi­ca­tions about new Work­sec­tion events direct­ly on your com­put­er desktop.

To do this, accept the sub­scribe” offer when log­ging into your account or enable it man­u­al­ly1 in your Pro­file  alt + М. Here, you can also con­fig­ure the types of noti­fi­ca­tions you want to receive on your com­put­er and phone2.


Note: Noti­fi­ca­tions are received even if the brows­er is closed. If you use Work­sec­tion on mul­ti­ple com­put­ers, you can receive noti­fi­ca­tions on each of them.

This fea­ture is also avail­able for Fire­fox users; how­ev­er, noti­fi­ca­tions are only dis­played when the brows­er is open.

Inte­gra­tion with Slack

Many of our clients have inquired if we have an inte­gra­tion with a pop­u­lar mes­sen­ger like Slack. Well, we have great news for you. We’ve devel­oped a flex­i­ble, intu­itive, two-way inte­gra­tion. You can not only broad­cast the nec­es­sary mes­sages from Work­sec­tion to Slack but also cre­ate tasks direct­ly from Slack in Worksection.

Here’s how it works. After con­nect­ing Slack inte­gra­tion, you get a bot-user in your com­pa­ny. If you want it to relay events from a spe­cif­ic project to a Slack chan­nel, sim­ply add the bot to the project team and sub­scribe it to all tasks. Want to stop broad­cast­ing? Remove the bot from the project. If you need it to trans­mit only cer­tain types of mes­sages, adjust the noti­fi­ca­tion set­tings in its pro­file as if it were a reg­u­lar user.


Simul­ta­ne­ous­ly with the Slack user in Work­sec­tion, a bot-com­mand /work­sec­tion or /ws (the same but short­er) appears in Slack.


Using the work­sec­tion-bot through /ws (or /work­sec­tion) com­bined with one of the four com­mands opens up var­i­ous possibilities.

From Slack, you can:
  • Call for a hint;
  • Show a list of Work­sec­tion projects inte­grat­ed with Slack (those where the Slack bot is a project participant);
  • Show a list of open tasks in any inte­grat­ed project;
  • Show a list of participants;
  • Add a new task to any inte­grat­ed project, spec­i­fy­ing all nec­es­sary para­me­ters such as pri­or­i­ty, respon­si­ble per­son, dead­line, and even description.
We won’t delve too deeply into this top­ic since there’s now a whole sec­tion with all the nec­es­sary infor­ma­tion about WS and Slack inte­gra­tion. If you’re inter­est­ed, please vis­it: https://worksection.com/en/slack-app.html

Work­sec­tion API

If you need oth­er inte­gra­tions with Work­sec­tion, you can send us your sug­ges­tions or imple­ment them your­self using our API.

The API works on the account own­er’s rights, allow­ing you to retrieve lists of tasks, projects, users, cre­ate new tasks and sub­tasks, and write com­ments. The account own­er can con­nect the API and obtain the key for its use on the Account/Security page.



That’s all for now.

Hap­py working!
The Work­sec­tion Team
