What is Sastrify Slack App?


The Sastrify Slack app enhances user interaction by delivering actionable notifications and informational alerts directly within your workspace.

  • Actionable notifications allow you to respond to key events—such as upcoming renewals or comments on tools you own—without leaving Slack.
  • Informational notifications keep you updated on the development of active procurement initiatives, ensuring you're always informed.


This integration helps you stay engaged and take immediate action within your familiar Slack environment.

How to connect the Sastrify App to your Slack Workspace


The Sastrify Slack app can be accessed from Settings > Notifications. 

  1. Locate the Slack Notifications connection card at the top of the page. 
  2. Click the "Connect" button. 
  3. You will be taken to the Request Permissions page to grant the necessary permissions for the integration to work, establish a connection between the two platforms, and enable the transmission of relevant notifications.
  4. Establish the connection by granting Sastrify permission; click "Allow" to proceed.
  5. Once completed, you will be redirected back to Sastrify's Notification Settings page, where you can confirm that the app has successfully connected.




It's important to note that users setting up the Slack App must have an admin role to Sastrify.

Single Admin Authentication: Only one admin user needs to activate the Slack app for the organization. This user is linked to the authentication mechanism. If they are removed from the organization, re-authentication will be required to maintain access to the Slack app.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the setup process or require assistance with admin roles and permissions, please don't hesitate to contact our dedicated the Sastrify Support Team.

Snippets from the notification list


Renewal notifications: Tool owners receive actionable notifications when a tool is approaching its renewal date. This allows users to promptly mark the tool for automatic renewal or address the tool by initiating a renewal initiative in the Sastrify app.



If a user doesn’t respond to the initial renewal notification, reminder notifications (similar to emails) will be sent according to the renewal notification frequency set in Sastrify. You can adjust this setting under Settings > Notifications.


Comments and Replies Feed: Users receive real-time notifications for comments and replies on their subscription feed. They can view comment threads directly in Slack and respond to discussions, ensuring timely engagement, especially for subscriptions they manage.



Initiative comments and replies: Notifications are sent for comments and replies on the relevant ongoing procurement initiatives. Users can view comment threads directly within Slack and respond as needed.



Initiative information updates: This notification keeps users informed of developments related to their procurement initiatives. Whether a new initiative has been opened for them to review, they've been added as a collaborator, or there are specific actions to take, relevant updates are delivered through Slack as well as email.

Notification Preference Control


The Notifications settings page offers organizations the flexibility to customize their preferences, enabling them to choose the channels from which they prefer to receive notifications.
