Get DLP Alerts and Prompt Notifications in Slack

Team communication and notifications
## Why Slack? Your security team lives in Slack. When a DLP guardrail blocks an employee from pasting a customer's Social Security number into ChatGPT, the right people need to know — immediately, not the next time someone checks the admin dashboard. TeamPrompt's Slack integration brings three types of real-time notifications to your channels. ## Three notification types ### 1. DLP Violation Alerts When a team member's message is blocked or flagged by a guardrail rule, Slack gets an instant notification with: - The rule that triggered (e.g. "SSN Pattern Detected") - The category (PII, credentials, financial, etc.) - The severity level (block or warning) - Which user and which AI tool This gives your security team immediate visibility into data leak attempts — without anyone needing to log into the admin panel. ### 2. Prompt Approval Notifications When a team member submits a new prompt for review (because they don't have auto-approve permissions), a Slack message appears with: - The prompt title - Who submitted it - A direct link to the approval queue Managers can see what needs review without checking the app. Approval workflows move faster. ### 3. Weekly Activity Digest Every Monday, Slack posts a summary card showing: - Total AI conversations this week - Number of DLP events - New prompts created - Active users - Your most-used prompt It's a quick pulse check on how your team is using AI — delivered where you already look. ## How to connect 1. Go to **Settings → Integrations** 2. Click **Connect Slack** on the Slack card 3. Authorize TeamPrompt in your workspace 4. Select a notification channel (e.g. #teamprompt-alerts) 5. **Important:** Invite the bot to the channel — type `/invite @TeamPrompt` in Slack 6. Toggle which notifications you want on/off Each notification type can be enabled or disabled independently. The channel picker lets you choose any public or private channel the bot has been invited to. ## Designed to not be noisy Notifications are fire-and-forget — they don't slow down the extension or the scan. DLP alerts are batched per scan (one message per incident, not one per rule match). The weekly digest is a single card, not a thread. If your team has strict guardrails with many rules, you'll get one alert per blocked message, not one per matched pattern. ## What's next Phase 2 will add **slash commands** — search your prompt library and run DLP checks directly from Slack: - `/teamprompt search onboarding` — find prompts - `/teamprompt check [paste text]` — DLP scan - `/teamprompt help` — see available commands Phase 3 adds **interactive buttons** — approve or reject prompts directly from the Slack notification, no browser needed. ## Get started Connect Slack in under a minute from **Settings → Integrations**. Your security team will thank you.
