Notifications you'll receive in Slack
Once the integration is active, AWR can send four types of notifications to your Slack channel:
Initial ranking update summary: KPIs for a project after its first ranking update is completed.
New ranking update summary: KPIs following each new ranking update, so you can spot performance changes at a glance.
Scheduled PDF report generation: alerts when a scheduled PDF report is ready.
Top Sites CSV export generation: alerts when a Top Sites CSV export is ready.
You can enable or disable each type independently from the Slack card.
