Use the Pitch app for Slack to stay on top of time-sensitive updates, even when Pitch isn’t open. You can install the app here. With the Pitch app for Slack, you can receive notifications about your presentations and workspaces directly in Slack. You can:

Add Pitch to your Slack workspace
Slack workspace members can install apps to their Slack workspace. If your workspace owners and admins have limited this ability, you will need to request them to approve your app request.
To add the Pitch app to your Slack workspace:
Navigate to Apps in your Slack workspace.
Search for Pitch in the app directory.
Follow the on-screen steps to authorize or request access.
Once you’ve added the app to your Slack workspace, any member of the workspace can connect their Pitch account to Slack – this will need to be done individually.

Replying to comments
When someone mentions you in a comment or replies to one of your comments, you can respond directly in the Pitch app for Slack. Just select Reply in the notification. If you prefer, you can also open Pitch to do this.
Manage your notifications
If you want to take a break from notifications, there are two ways to turn Slack notifications off:
Navigate to Notifications in your Pitch workspace and switch off notifications for the Pitch app for Slack.
Navigate to the Pitch app channel in your Slack workspace and type “off”.
When you’re ready to receive notifications again, you can switch on notifications from your Pitch workspace or by typing “on” in the Pitch app channel in Slack.
You can also get these instructions in Slack by typing “help” in the Pitch app channel.
Preview links to presentations
Once you connect your Pitch account to Slack, links to presentations you have access to will unfurl when you share them in Slack. Everyone you share a link with will be able to see a preview image and the name of the presentation.
Disconnect the app
If you no longer want to have Slack connected to your Pitch account, you can click on Disconnect account in the Notification settings.
