Slack (Notifications) + Maintouch
Get Maintouch updates in the Slack channel your team already watches, and approve content from there.
Overview
Content gets released for review, a backlink goes live, a technical SEO issue turns up, a custom agent finishes its run. If those updates only live inside Maintouch, someone has to remember to go and look.
Connect Slack and Maintouch posts them to one channel you choose. Reviewers can approve a post, or approve and publish it, right from the message, and you decide which events post and who gets tagged.
How it works
- 01
Add Maintouch to Slack
Approve the Maintouch app for your Slack workspace.
- 02
Invite the bot and pick a channel
Type /invite @Maintouch in the channel you want, then select it. We check the bot can post there before saving.
- 03
Link your account
Each teammate can link their own Slack account so Maintouch can tag them by name.
What you get
Approve from Slack
Released content arrives with Review, Approve, and Approve and publish buttons, and the message updates as the post moves along.
Your events, your mentions
Turn each event on or off, tag @here, specific people or no one, and edit the message text.
Digests
An activity digest of content released, published, updated and indexed, plus a weekly to-do list on Mondays.
Agents that post
Custom agents can post their results or alerts to the channel and tag linked teammates.

Can different events go to different channels?
No. Maintouch posts to one channel per workspace. You choose which events post there and who gets tagged.
Can anyone in the channel approve content?
Buttons act as the person who clicks them, matched to their Maintouch account, so their usual permissions apply.
Does Maintouch read our Slack messages?
No. This connector only posts and lists channels. To let your agent search Slack, connect Slack (MCP) separately.
