Fleep is an alternative to Slack. So, if you’re using Fleep and your partners are using Slack, you can use this webhook integration to connect any Slack channel with any Fleep conversation.
Once set up, the Slack integration will send all messages* posted to the Slack channel to the connected Fleep conversation and vice versa.
Follow the following steps to set up your Slack integration. When you have completed Steps 2-8, all messages posted to the Fleep conversation will also show up in the Slack channel you have connected. Steps 9-12 ensure that when messages are posted to the Slack channel, they will also be sent to the conversation in Fleep.
1. Create or choose the Fleep conversation and Slack channel you wish to connect
2. Open the Slack App Directory, and find Incoming WebHooks.
On the Incoming Webhooks page, click on the Add Configuration button.
3. Now, choose the channel or conversation you want to integrate and click on Add Incoming WebHooks Integration.
4. In the next view, you can customize the integration as you wish (don’t forget to Save if you do make any changes). Also, find the Webhook URL – copy this, as you will need it in the next step.
5. Next, open the Fleep conversation you wish to connect and navigate to Conversation Settings > Integrations. Click on the Add button below Slack:
6. Now you will need the Incoming Webhook URL from Slack (step 4). In the popup that appears in Fleep, click on Edit next to the Outgoing URL. Paste the WebHook URL you copied from Slack to this field and hit Save:
Then click on Create to generate a hook for the Slack integration. Now you have successfully set up the first part of the integration – messages posted into that Fleep conversation will also show up in the connected Slack channel!
7. Next, copy the Incoming URL in Fleep:
8. Open the Slack App Directory, and fing Outgoing WebHooks.
On the Outgoing WebHooks page, click on the Add Configuration button.
11. Now, click on Add Outgoing WebHooks integration.
12. Scroll down to Integration Settings. Choose the channel, and now you will need the Incoming URL from Fleep (Step 9). Paste the URL to the URL(s) section in the Integration Settings:
Customize the Webhook if you wish, and hit Save Settings. You’re done! All messages posted to the Slack channel will now also show up in the Fleep conversation and vice versa.For example, Ben here is posting into the Slack channel (left), while Mary is sending messages through Fleep:
* Any files posted into the connected Slack conversation will not be sent to the respective Fleep conversations, and neither will any of the associated comments attached to the file.
** All files posted into the connected conversation in Fleep will be sent as links to the Slack conversation – and are only accessible if the person has a Fleep account that has been added to the Fleep conversation.
