Integrating Flextensions with Your Tools

Flextensions, of course, already integrates with Canvas. However, you may want to connect it with other tools you use to manage your course.

Slack

Flextensions can be integrated with Slack to provide real-time notifications and updates. This allows instructors and students to stay informed about important events, such as assignment due dates and extension requests.

Setting Up Slack Integration

Flextensions uses a Slack Webhook to send notifications to your Slack workspace, which are sent whenever there is a new extension request or an update to an existing request, including showing whether they are auto-approved.

In Slack

1. Go to your Slack workspace and navigate to Apps.
2. Search for and select Incoming WebHooks.
3. Click Add to Slack.
4. Choose the channel where you want to receive notifications and click Add Incoming WebHooks integration.
5. Copy the Webhook URL provided.

In Flextensions

1. Navigate to the Settings tab.
2. Click on Slack Integration.
3. Paste the Webhook URL into the provided field.
4. Click Save to enable Slack notifications.
