Suger

Connect Slack for Your Partners

Connect your Slack workspace and map a channel to each partner, so Suger knows where to post co-sell activity, internal notes, and broadcasts.


Overview

Most partner conversations already happen in Slack. Connecting Slack to Suger lets you keep them there: each partner gets a Slack channel, and Suger posts to that channel instead of asking your team to copy updates across by hand.

This page is the prerequisite for Broadcasts. A partner with no mapped channel is silently excluded from every broadcast audience — including All partners — so if a partner tells you they never received an announcement, check their channel mapping here first.

Connect Your Workspace

  1. Go to Suger Console, then Settings.
  2. Click Partner, then Slack.
  3. If no workspace is connected yet, the page reads Slack not connected. with a Connect Slack in Settings → Integrations link. Follow it to authorize the Suger app in your Slack workspace, then come back here.

Once connected, the page header shows the connected workspace name.

Settings → Partner → Slack — the connected workspace, the internal notifications channel with its Change button, and the partner channel table

Set the Internal Notifications Channel

The internal notifications channel is your own team’s channel. Internal notes posted on co-sells are mirrored here — never to a partner channel — so your team can discuss a deal without the partner seeing it.

  1. Find the internal channel card near the top of the page.
  2. Click Change.
  3. Search for a channel by name, or paste a Slack channel ID directly (for example C0123ABCD) if the channel doesn’t appear in search.
  4. Confirm your choice.

Map a Channel to Each Partner

Below the internal channel card is a table of your partners and their Slack channels.

  1. Use Search partners… to find a partner, or tick the connected-only filter to see just the partners that already have a channel.
  2. On the partner’s row, assign or edit its channel. The channel picker works the same way as the internal channel picker — search by name, or paste a channel ID.
  3. To disconnect a partner, remove its channel mapping from the same dialog.

The table paginates with Previous / Next and shows the page you’re on. Search and filtering happen in your browser, so they apply across every partner at once, not just the visible page.

The partner channel table — a search box and connected-only filter above rows showing the three channel states: Connected, Add bot to channel, and No channel

Channel Status

Each row carries one of three statuses:

StatusWhat it meansWhat to do
ConnectedSuger can post to the channel.Nothing.
Add bot to channelThe channel is mapped, but the Suger bot is not a member of it, so posts will not land.Invite the Suger app to that channel in Slack.
No channelNo channel is mapped to this partner.Assign one, or accept that this partner is excluded from broadcasts.

What a Mapped Channel Unlocks

  • Broadcasts — one message sent to every mapped partner channel at once.
  • Co-sell activity — posted to the partner’s channel as it happens.
  • Internal notes on co-sells — mirrored to your internal notifications channel only, never to the partner’s.

Scope and Limits

  • Slack only. There is no Microsoft Teams equivalent for partner channels today.
  • One channel per partner. Suger posts to the partner’s mapped channel, not to individual partner contacts.
  • The bot must be in the channel. Mapping a channel is not enough on its own — see the status table above.
  • Seller-side only. Partner-side organizations see a Contact Sales panel here instead of the configuration.
  • The partner list is capped at 2,000. Use search beyond that.
