Set up

Set it up in 4 steps

  1. Connect Slack.

    Open Embed & API, find Slack under Connectors and press Connect. Pick your Slack workspace and approve the app.

  2. Choose a channel.

    Back in LaunchList, the channel list opens. Pick one for this project and press Save. For a private channel, type /invite @LaunchList in it in Slack first, then refresh the list.

  3. Send a test message.

    Press Send test to check the channel works before a real signup arrives.

  4. Pick what posts.

    Each new signup, milestones and an optional daily or weekly digest each have a switch. Edit Signup message to change the card itself, filled in with your latest signup. Change the headline, and which details show and in what order. Names and email addresses show only in a private channel, and you can hide them there too.

What the channel gets

A new signup card, a milestone when your list reaches 10, 100, 1,000 signups and more, and, if you turn it on, a digest of the day's or week's signups and referrals at 08:00 UTC. A digest is skipped when there were no signups. Each has its own switch, and one switch pauses the lot while keeping your choices.

Up to 10 single signups an hour post for each project. Past that, one summary posts when the hour is up, so a launch day does not bury the channel.

Write the signup message yourself

You edit the signup card itself, filled in with your latest signup, so you see exactly what will post. Write the headline and drop in the signup's name, source or any other value with @. Below it, choose the details that show, such as email, source, campaign, referrer, country, position, trust, your total signups and the answers to your form's questions, then rename them or drag them into the order you want.

Names stay in private channels

Names and email addresses appear only in a private channel that is not shared with another organization. Anywhere else, a message shows where a signup came from and never who it is. In a private channel you can hide them too.

When something breaks

If LaunchList is removed from the channel, the channel is archived or Slack's access is revoked, LaunchList tells you in the app and by email, and says what to do. Signups keep being collected as usual. Only the Slack messages pause.

One Slack workspace, one channel per project

One Slack workspace connects to one LaunchList workspace, and each project posts to one channel. Only people who can manage integrations can connect or change it.

Signups in Slack are a copy of your audience

Each message puts a person's details in Slack, outside LaunchList. Post to a private channel. When you erase a signup, LaunchList deletes its Slack messages about them where Slack lets it. After you disconnect Slack, it can no longer delete the ones already posted.

Other events, your own words

The app covers signups, milestones and digests. For referrals, rewards or bounces, or a message worded your way, send the matching webhook event to Zapier, Make or n8n and add a Slack step.

FAQ

Questions about Slack and LaunchList

Does LaunchList have a Slack app?
Yes. LaunchList is an official app you install in your Slack workspace from Embed & API. It posts new signups, milestones and an optional daily or weekly digest to a channel you choose. It is on the Launch plan and the Grow plan.
Which plans include the Slack app?
The Launch plan and the Grow plan. On the Free plan and the Collect plan, send a LaunchList webhook to Zapier, Make or n8n and add a Slack step instead.
What happens to Slack if I change plans?
On a plan without the app, LaunchList stops posting and keeps your channel and settings, and you can still disconnect. Move back to the Launch plan or the Grow plan and posting starts again. Messages from the time in between are not sent later.
What does LaunchList post to Slack?
Each new signup (not a repeat signup or a test contact), milestones at 10, 100, 1,000 signups and more, an optional daily or weekly digest at 08:00 UTC that is skipped when there were no signups, and a test message when you ask for one.
Will a launch flood the channel?
No. LaunchList posts up to 10 single signups an hour for each project. After that, one summary posts when the hour is up.
Are signups' names and emails posted to Slack?
Only in a private channel that is not shared with another organization, and you can hide them there too. In any other channel a message shows where a signup came from, never who it is.
Can the LaunchList Slack app post to a private channel?
Yes. Type /invite @LaunchList in the channel in Slack, refresh the channel list in LaunchList and choose it.
What if LaunchList is removed from the channel?
You are told in the app and by email, and signups keep being collected as usual. Only the Slack messages pause until you fix it.
What happens to Slack messages when I erase a signup?
We delete our messages about that signup where Slack lets us. After you disconnect Slack, we can no longer delete messages already posted.
Can I write the Slack message in my own words?
Yes. In the Slack settings, edit Signup message. You edit the card itself, filled in with your latest signup. Change the headline, add, rename, reorder or remove details such as the source or a form answer, or start from a template.
Can I post to Slack for other events?
Yes. Send a LaunchList webhook to Zapier, Make or n8n and add a Slack step. A Slack incoming webhook cannot be an endpoint itself, because it only accepts Slack's own message format.
Can I post to Discord or Microsoft Teams instead?
Yes, through a webhook. Zapier, Make and n8n all have steps for Discord and Teams. The Slack app itself posts to Slack only.
