Notifications - Slack
Overview
Digital Photo Gallery integrates deeply with Slack, this functionality is especially useful if you are running a shared site with many photographers.
You can create a Slack account here and receive $100.00 in free credit to get you started.
Integrating your DPG account with Slack will allow you and your team to receive notifications for:
- Reports of all user activity, for example - uploads, adding keywords, deleting images.
- Real-time download alerts, to track exactly who is downloading your images.
- Press Site sign ups.
Slack works best when used with their mobile and desktop apps which you can download here.
