How it works

  1. 1Click Connect Slack and approve the DocPeel app with Slack OAuth 2.0.
  2. 2Slack creates the channel connection during authorization, and DocPeel stores it securely for future notifications.
  3. 3Every completed extraction sends a formatted message to your chosen channel with key fields and a result link.

Keep your team in the loop without checking dashboards

Document workflows often involve multiple people — an AP clerk, a finance manager, a department head. When DocPeel processes an invoice or contract, everyone who needs to know should be notified immediately, not when they remember to check a dashboard.

After you connect Slack through OAuth 2.0, the Slack integration sends a structured message to your chosen channel the moment extraction completes. The message includes the document name, the key extracted fields, confidence indicators, and a direct link to view or download the full result.

Formatted messages, not raw JSON

Slack messages from DocPeel are formatted as rich blocks — not wall-of-text JSON dumps. The notification shows the document type and name at the top, followed by the most important extracted fields in a clean key-value layout, confidence badges for each field, and action buttons to view the result or download the export.

For invoices, the message surfaces vendor name, invoice number, total amount, and due date. For contracts, it shows party names, contract date, and value. The fields shown are driven by the parser configuration so the message is always relevant to the document type.

Channel routing by document type

Different parsers can post to different channels. Invoice extractions go to #ap-inbox, contract processing alerts go to #legal-ops, HR document results go to #hr-team. This keeps notifications focused and actionable rather than creating noise in a single shared channel.

Because the connection is established through Slack OAuth, you can also use a private Slack channel if the document data is sensitive, without pasting raw webhook credentials into DocPeel manually.

Frequently asked questions

Does DocPeel use Slack OAuth or a manual webhook URL?
DocPeel uses Slack OAuth 2.0 to connect your workspace and channel. During that authorization flow, Slack provides the channel connection that DocPeel uses to send notifications, so you do not need to manually create or paste a webhook URL.
Can I filter which extractions trigger a Slack notification?
Yes. You can configure notifications per parser, so only specific document types trigger messages. You can also set confidence thresholds to only notify when a field's confidence falls below a certain level.
