❗️Important

If the account executive isn't in the Slack or Slack Connect channel, they won't get alerted — but they'll still get mentioned so other members in the channel can easily add them.

If you include the Account Executive Name in your reports and populations, but not the Account Executive Email, the notification will only display the account executive’s name.

Currently, no. You can only have one Crossbeam account connected to Slack. It will be the one that you are in when you authorize Slack. Connecting Slack in a second organization will remove the Slack connection from your first organization. 

Can I send notifications to private channels?

Yes, as long as you have invited the Crossbeam app into the private channel. This applies to Slack Connect channels as well.
