Get Yocoolab comment notifications in Slack

Post new Yocoolab comment threads, replies, and resolved or reopened updates to the Slack channel your team already watches.

Availability, October 2026

New workspaces can’t map a project to Jira, Linear, Slack or Telegram yet. These integrations are set up per connected repository, and connecting repositories is currently unavailable. Workspaces that already have a connected repository can still use them.

Overview

This is a one-way notification feed from Yocoolab into Slack, sent by a Slack app you create in your own workspace. When someone pins a new comment, the mapped channel gets a message with the comment, the branch, the priority and the element’s selector. Replies are posted under that message as a Slack thread, and the channel is told when the Yocoolab thread is resolved or reopened. Messages do not include the screenshot or a link, and replies in Slack do not come back to Yocoolab.

Prerequisites

  • A Slack workspace where you can install apps
  • Permission to create a Slack app (or workspace admin access)

Setup Steps

  1. 1

    Create a Slack app

    Go to api.slack.com/apps and click Create New App → From scratch.

    Name it "Yocoolab" and select your workspace.

  2. 2

    Add bot scopes

    Go to OAuth & Permissions and add these Bot Token Scopes:

    • chat:write — Send messages to channels
    • channels:read — List available channels
  3. 3

    Install to your workspace

    Click Install to Workspace and authorize. Copy the Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-).

  4. 4

    Enter the bot token in Yocoolab

    In the admin dashboard, go to Settings → Integrations → Slack. Paste the bot token and click Save.

  5. 5

    Test the connection

    Click Test Connection. You should see your workspace name and a list of channels.

  6. 6

    Map repositories to Slack channels

    For each Yocoolab repository, select a Slack channel, and choose which events to post: new threads, replies and status changes. Notifications for that repository go to the mapped channel.

    Note

    The list shows only repositories connected to your workspace, and connecting repositories is currently unavailable, so a workspace created today has nothing to choose here.

    Tip

    Make sure the Yocoolab bot has been invited to the channel. In Slack, type /invite @Yocoolab in the target channel.

Troubleshooting

Warning

Bot not in channel — If notifications aren't posting, the bot may not be a member of the channel. Invite it with /invite @Yocoolab.

Warning

Missing scopes — If you see a missing_scope error, go back to your Slack app's OAuth settings and add the required scopes, then reinstall the app.

Note

Private channels — The bot can post to private channels, but it must be explicitly invited first.
