Using the Sakari-Slack Integration
You can now keep track of which messages have been replied to directly inside of Slack. A green checkmark will indicate that the Sakari SMS message has received a response, helping you avoid any communication gaps.
NOTE: We've recently updated Sakari + Slack permissions so you can access new SMS features. To access these, you must disconnect and reauthorize your Slack integration if you've previously installed it.
Responding to Messages
Inside of Slack, click Reply on the message you want to respond to.
Type in your reply and press Send.
A green checkmark will pop up that indicates the message has received a response.
Slack Notifications
With the new Sakari Slack integration you will be able to define more granular rules on which Slack channels should be notified when a new text message is received. The rules are defined based on Sakari phone number groups.

- Go to Integrations and select your Slack integration
- Click + Add another
- Set the group that you notifications for, and the Slack channel where you want to receive that notification
- Click Save
