Connecting Slack to Vector is super quick —just a few clicks and you're done.

Step 1: Connect Slack

1. Head to Settings > Slack Connect.

2. Choose the Slack channel you want notifications to go to.

3. Click Allow to finish the setup. ✅

You’re officially connected!

Step 2: Add Slack to a Segment

Once Slack is connected, you can add it to any segment as an action. This tells Vector where to send alerts for that segment.

➡ When setting this up, you can:

• Send notifications to a Slack channel, and optionally @mention the account owner

• DM the account owner directly instead of posting in a channel

Choose what works best for your team!

💡 What’s a segment?
Segments are dynamic groups of contacts based on filters you define—like web behavior, ad engagement, or firmographic traits.

What do notifications look like?

Here’s a preview of what to expect in Slack:

How @mentions work

Once Slack is connected, you can choose where alerts go and—on some plans—who gets notified directly.

🔔 Two types of Slack alerts:

• Send to a channel – Post alerts in a Slack channel (like #sales or #website-visits)

• @mention a person – DM or tag the account owner so they never miss a lead
  (Only available on Plus, Growth, or Enterprise)

✅ What’s Included in Each Plan?

How @mentions work (Plus & up)

If you’re on Plus, Growth, or Enterprise, you can go a step further by tagging the account owner directly in Slack. Here’s how to set that up:

1. Connect your CRM (HubSpot or Salesforce)

2. Add an Account List to your segment

3. Vector will automatically detect the owner and send the alert directly to them—or tag them in the channel

This makes sure your reps get the right alerts without needing to monitor every channel. 🎯

Slack Segment Use Cases

One of the most popular ways teams use Slack notifications is to catch early signs of competitive or category research—and alert sales before the window closes.

If that sounds like your jam, check out our Trigger Sales Alerts from Competitive or Category Research playbook. It walks through how to:

• Detect when someone’s actively researching competitors

• Qualify the signal using Funnel Vision

• Automatically push a real-time Slack alert to the account owner

💡 New to Funnel Vision?
Funnel Vision shows you exactly who’s in your funnel — not just which accounts. Traditional ABM stops at the company level, but people make buying decisions, not logos. Funnel Vision reveals real contacts engaging with your brand and maps where each person is in their journey — so you know who’s ready and what to do next.

🤔 Wait? Why am I not receiving Slack notifications from my visitor feed or segments?

Ensure the following:

• Slack is connected

• Slack is added as an action to the Segment. This highlights where the data will be pushed to.

• The Segment is active (toggle in top right corner is turned on). Active segments will push data over.

If the above bullets are completed, and you're still not receiving data, please contact support@vector.co so our team can assist!
