Connecting Fabl to Slack keeps your entire production team informed without requiring everyone to have a Fabl account or check the platform constantly. When key production events happen — a rundown is published, a script is approved, or a segment’s status changes — Fabl sends a formatted message to the Slack channel of your choice.

/fabl slash command to pull up rundown summaries and share them directly in any Slack conversation.
What the Slack integration does
- Posts notifications to one or more Slack channels when production events occur in Fabl
- Lets you choose exactly which events trigger a message so channels stay relevant and noise-free
- Formats messages with rundown details, direct links back to Fabl, and the name of the team member who triggered the event
- Enables the
/fablslash command in your Slack workspace so anyone can look up and share rundown information on demand
Connect Fabl to Slack
Open Integrations settings
In Fabl, click your workspace avatar in the bottom-left corner and select Settings. Go to the Integrations tab and find Slack.
Click Connect
Click the Connect button next to Slack. Fabl opens Slack’s OAuth authorization page in a new window.
Choose your Slack workspace
If you belong to multiple Slack workspaces, select the correct one from the dropdown at the top of the authorization page.
Authorize Fabl
Review the permissions Fabl requests — it needs permission to post messages and install a slash command — then click Allow. You are redirected back to Fabl with the integration active.
Select a default channel
In the Slack integration settings panel, choose the default Slack channel where Fabl will post notifications. You can override this per event type in the next step.
You must be a Slack workspace admin (or have permission to install apps) to complete the authorization step. If you do not have this permission, ask your Slack admin to authorize Fabl on your behalf.
Configure notification events
After connecting, you control exactly which Fabl events post to Slack and which channel each event goes to. Go to Settings → Integrations → Slack → Configure and use the event list to toggle notifications on or off:| Event | What it reports |
|---|---|
| Rundown Created | A new rundown has been added to any show in your workspace. |
| Rundown Published | A rundown has been published or exported. |
| Status Changed | A rundown’s production status has moved to a new stage. |
| Script Approved | A script segment has been marked as approved. |
| Comment Added | A comment has been posted on a rundown or segment. |
| Asset Attached | A video asset or Frame.io review link has been added to a segment. |
- Toggle the notification on or off
- Set a specific Slack channel (or leave it to post to your default channel)
- Customize the message prefix or label that appears in the notification
Use the /fabl slash command
Once the integration is active, the/fabl slash command is available to everyone in your Slack workspace.
Look up a rundown
Type/fabl rundown [name or ID] in any Slack channel or direct message. Fabl returns a formatted summary of the rundown including the show name, air date, status, segment count, and a View in Fabl link.
Share a rundown
Type/fabl share [name or ID] to post the rundown summary as a visible message in the current channel so your teammates can see it.
List recent rundowns
Type/fabl list to see the five most recently updated rundowns in your workspace, with their current statuses and direct links.
The
/fabl command respects Fabl’s permissions. Team members can only retrieve rundowns they have access to in Fabl — the slash command does not bypass any existing access controls.Troubleshooting
Fabl is not posting messages to Slack
Fabl is not posting messages to Slack
Confirm the integration is enabled under Settings → Integrations → Slack (the toggle should be green). Also check that the Fabl app has not been removed from your Slack workspace — a Slack admin may have uninstalled it. If so, reconnect from the Fabl settings panel.
The /fabl slash command is not working
The /fabl slash command is not working
The slash command is installed at the workspace level. If it stopped working, the Fabl app may have been uninstalled from Slack. Reconnect the integration in Fabl to reinstall the slash command. If the command still does not appear, ask your Slack admin to check whether the Fabl app is active in your workspace’s app directory.
Notifications are going to the wrong channel
Notifications are going to the wrong channel
Go to Settings → Integrations → Slack → Configure and check the channel assignment for each event type. An individual event’s channel setting overrides the default channel, so make sure the per-event channel fields are set correctly.
