Receive notifications

You receive notifications in the Collibra app in Slack for task-assigned workflows, mentions, and comment threads. The text in a Slack notification is the same as that in a Collibra email.

Note 
  • Slack doesn't send notifications for workflow approvals or rejections, or when a comment is edited.
  • Slack removes any unsupported formatting from a comment, but it remains visible in Collibra.

Reply to comments

You can reply to resource and assessment comments via Slack.

Note 
  • You can’t reply to a deleted message.
  • If a comment is resolved, you must reopen it in Collibra before replying.
  1. In the Collibra app in Slack, click Reply next to the comment.
    A dialog box appears.
  2. Enter your comment and click Submit.
    A green checkmark is shown in Slack to indicate that you replied. Your reply is shown on the resource or assessment page in Collibra.

Search Collibra data

You can search for Collibra data in Slack using the /collibra search prompt in a direct message or channel. The search results are identical to those from the search page in Collibra Platform. You can search only for asset categories. You can't search for users, user groups, domains, or communities.

  1. In the Slack message bar, enter /collibra search and a search parameter, for example, /collibra search report.
    A dialog box shows the results.
  2. If needed, filter the results by asset type or tag.
  3. To share the results, click Share. Otherwise, click Close.

Share assets

When you share an asset, a link to the asset is shown in the Slack notification. You can share only assets. You can't share users, user groups, domains, or communities.

  1. In the Slack message bar, enter /collibra search and a search parameter, for example, /collibra search report.
    A dialog box shows the results.
  2. If needed, filter the results by asset type or tag.
  3. Click Share.
    A notification is sent to the Collibra app in the Slack workspace indicating which asset was shared and by whom.
