How it works
Digests in Slack. Decisions that stick.
Connect once, enable Slack on the workflow steps that need it, then approve or review without leaving the channel.
- Step 1
Add Cortena to Slack
Install Cortena FinOps with Add to Slack. Sign in to Cortena and choose which entities this workspace covers.
- Step 2
Pick DM or channel
Assignees get DMs by default. Or post to a shared channel like #ap-approvals when the team wants one queue.
- Step 3
Enable on workflow steps
Turn on Slack on Review and Approval nodes. Digests only fire where you ask for them.
- Step 4
Act and stay in sync
Approve, reject, or hold in Slack. The same action updates Cortena live, and the reverse updates the Slack message.
In Slack
What your team gets after install.
Review digests
Mark reviewed from Slack with the same permission checks as the Cortena invoice strip.
Two-way sync
Act in Slack or in Cortena. Buttons become a status line. Archive or delete closes open actions with a clear note.
Support in DM
Public support replies can land as Slack DMs. Reply in the thread to answer the same ticket.
Sign in with Slack
Optional OpenID login on Cortena when your workspace allows it. Separate from the bot install for digests.
Multi-entity
One Slack workspace can cover several Cortena entities. You choose coverage on the confirm screen.
After install
Clear next steps in Cortena.
After Slack authorizes the workspace, sign in to Cortena if needed, pick the entities this install covers, then enable Slack on the Review and Approval nodes that should notify. Privacy details live on our privacy policy.
FAQ
Slack integration: common questions.
You can start install from this page. After Slack authorizes the workspace, Cortena asks you to sign in and choose which entities the workspace covers. Create an account at app.cortena.ai if you do not have one yet.
Only people who already have permission for that workflow step in Cortena. Others see an error even if they can read the channel message.
Yes. Turn on channel notify in Settings, pick channels such as #ap-approvals, and keep DMs on or off per entity.
Yes. Approving, reviewing, rejecting, or holding in Cortena updates matching Slack digests for that step. Archive and delete close open buttons with a short note.

No. This integration covers approval digests, review digests, and support reply threads. Broader chat in Slack is not part of this release.
