Sentiment alerts are rules that fire a Slack DM when a metric crosses a threshold. They're opt-in and admin-configurable.
Build an alert
- 1Dashboard → Settings → Integrations → Slack → Alerts.
- 2Pick a metric (vibe score, stress, mood, or a specific survey question).
- 3Pick a scope (company-wide or a specific department).
- 4Pick a threshold — e.g. 'drops below 65' or 'drops by more than 10 points vs. previous period'.
- 5Pick recipients (admins, specific managers, or 'all managers of scope').
- 6Save.
Frequency guardrails
Alerts are debounced per rule — you'll get at most one DM per rule per 24 hours. If a threshold is crossed repeatedly, the DM updates in place rather than spamming you.
Don't point alerts at tiny teams
A 4-person team's average can swing 15 points when one person has a rough night. Alerts on teams under 10 people tend to be noise — keep them at company or major-department scope.
