Connecting Slack to Vector is super quick —just a few clicks and you're done.
Step 1: Connect Slack
Head to Integrations > Slack > Connect.
Choose the Slack channel you want notifications to go to.
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
✅ What’s Included in Each Plan?
Plan | Send to 1 Slack Channel | Send to Multiple Channels | @Mention Account Owners |
Reveal | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Target | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
How @mentions work (Plus & up)
If you’re on Reveal or Target, you can go a step further by tagging the account owner directly in Slack. Here’s how to set that up:
Connect your CRM (HubSpot or Salesforce)
Add an Account List to your segment
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
Automatically push a real-time Slack alert to the account owner
🤔 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!
