Everything you need to know about using Renewly

Slack and Teams Notifications

Get contract renewal alerts where your team actually works. Connect Slack or Microsoft Teams to receive notifications alongside your existing email alerts.

Pro Feature

Slack and Teams notifications are available on Pro and Enterprise plans.

Overview

Renewly can send contract alerts to Slack channels and Microsoft Teams channels in addition to email. This ensures your team sees renewal deadlines where they spend their day - not buried in an inbox.

Alert types include:

  • Notice window alerts (90, 60, 30, and 7 days)
  • New contract uploaded
  • Extraction complete
  • Weekly digest

Connecting Slack

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations
  2. Click Connect Slack
  3. Authorise the Renewly app in Slack and select a channel
  4. Click Allow to complete the connection

Renewly uses Slack OAuth, so your bot token is securely stored with AES-256-GCM encryption. No passwords are stored.

Connecting Microsoft Teams

  1. In Microsoft Teams, go to the channel where you want alerts
  2. Click the ... menu > Connectors > Incoming Webhook
  3. Name the webhook (e.g. "Renewly Alerts") and copy the URL
  4. In Renewly, go to Settings > Integrations
  5. Click Connect Teams, paste the webhook URL, and give it a name

Configuring Alert Types

Each channel has its own alert preferences. Toggle individual alert types on or off per channel. For example, you might send urgent 7-day alerts to a high-priority Slack channel but only weekly digests to a general Teams channel.

Testing Your Connection

After connecting a channel, click the Send icon next to it to send a test notification. This confirms the connection is working before any real alerts fire.

Pausing a Channel

Use the toggle icon to pause and resume a channel without disconnecting it. Paused channels retain their configuration but stop receiving alerts.

Email Fallback

If a Slack or Teams delivery fails (e.g. webhook expired, token revoked), the email alert still fires as normal. Slack/Teams are additive - they never replace email notifications.

Multiple Channels

You can connect multiple Slack and Teams channels to the same workspace. Route different alert types to different channels for maximum visibility.

Disconnecting a Channel

Click the trash icon to disconnect a channel. This removes the stored credentials and stops all alerts to that channel. You can reconnect at any time.
