PinSay for Slack
Bring your site's UI feedback into Slack. New comments, replies, @mentions and status changes post to the channel you pick, and each teammate can get their own updates as direct messages.
Add to Slack opens PinSay's Integrations page, where a workspace admin picks the channel. Signed out? You sign in first and come straight back. New to PinSay? Create a free workspace, then open Integrations and choose Slack.
What the app does
- Channel updates. PinSay posts to one channel you choose in Slack's own window: new comments, replies, @mentions and status changes. The app can post only to that channel.
- You pick the events. Each connection sends only the events you turn on, and every message links straight to the comment in PinSay.
- Personal updates. Teammates get a direct message when someone mentions them or replies to their comment. Their Slack account links automatically when its e-mail matches their PinSay e-mail; anyone can also connect Slack from their PinSay profile.
Set it up
- Sign in to PinSay as a workspace admin, or create a free workspace.
- Open Integrations and choose Slack (the Add to Slack button on this page takes you there).
- Press Add to Slack, pick the channel in Slack's window, and allow.
- Back in PinSay, choose which events to send. The next new comment shows up in the channel.
- Optional: each teammate opens their Profile and connects Slack for personal direct messages.
What the app can access
PinSay asks Slack only for what these features need. It cannot read your channels or messages.
incoming-webhook: post to the one channel you pick during install.chat:write: send direct messages to teammates who get personal updates.users:readandusers:read.email: match Slack members to PinSay accounts by e-mail, so direct messages and @mentions reach the right person.openidandprofile: let a teammate connect their own Slack account from their PinSay profile.
Want comment text kept out of Slack? A workspace admin can switch integrations to metadata only: messages then carry no comment or reply text. Private comments are never sent to Slack. More on security and privacy.
Remove the app
Disconnect Slack on PinSay's Integrations page, or remove PinSay from your Slack workspace's app settings. PinSay stops posting right away, and each teammate can disconnect their own Slack account from their profile.

FAQ
Do I need a PinSay account?
Yes. Slack messages come from a PinSay workspace, so a workspace admin signs in to PinSay and adds the app from Integrations. PinSay has a free plan.
Can PinSay read my Slack messages?
No. The app has no permission to read channels or messages. It only posts to the channel you pick and sends direct messages to teammates who get personal updates.
Can PinSay post to more than one channel?
Yes. Add Slack again for each channel you want; each connection has its own channel and its own events.
How do I remove it?
Disconnect Slack on PinSay's Integrations page, or remove PinSay from your Slack workspace's app settings.
