Schedule automated Talent Pipeline reports via Slack
With Talent Pipeline: Overview, you can automatically send a report to a Slack channel or individual teammate on a recurring schedule. Scheduled reports make it easy to increase visibility around status.
Before you can complete these steps, you’ll need a saved Talent Pipeline report. If you don’t have one saved, create and one. For steps to do so, see Talent Pipeline: Overview.
Make sure Gem is already added to the Slack channel you wish to send this report to.
Only Admins can schedule automated Talent Pipeline reports via Slack.
- Select your account at the bottom of the main sidebar, then select the Admin settings option in the dropdown.
- Select the Integrations header.
- Select the Slack header to open up the integration details.
- Select the Add Report button.
- Select the options available to set the report, day, time, and channel that you want the report sent to. All dates and times will be shown in your time zone.
Gem will now send the saved Talent Pipeline report to that channel following the schedule you’ve selected.
