How to set up Slack alerts with Airthings for Business Dashboard

At Airthings for Business, integration is key. This month, we have released a new third party integration with Slack🎊

Slack is a business communication platform which allows you to work in channels, and uses direct messaging. Slack offers a new choice: a better way to work together by replacing email inside companies of all sizes.

You can now integrate your Airthings account with Slack and receive alerts when your sensor values go over a set threshold.

Follow these 7 easy steps to get customised notifications of your buildings air quality to whichever Slack channel you choose! 

1. Go to the Airthings Dashboard and select Integrations.
   
   
2. Under the Integrations menu you will find a new sub-menu called Third party.
   
   
3. Select the new integrations button, and follow the instructions to sign into your Slack account.
