Overview


When your organisation connects SuperPath to Slack, your learning comes to you in Slack. You get your SuperPath notifications as Slack messages, a My Learnings dashboard on the SuperPath app's Home tab, rich previews when someone shares a SuperPath link, and buttons that let you act without leaving Slack. If you approve requests, see How to Approve and Decline Requests in Slack, and if you use the AI Assistant, see How to Use the AI Assistant in Slack.



You receive SuperPath notifications in Slack as soon as your organisation is connected. To use the buttons, your Home tab and link previews, link your Slack account to SuperPath once.


  1. In Slack, open the SuperPath app from Apps in the sidebar, or press a button on any SuperPath message.
  2. Click Connect account. Your browser opens SuperPath.
  3. Sign in to SuperPath if you are asked to. Check the Slack workspace and account shown, then click Connect account.
  4. When you see that your Slack account is connected, head back to Slack.


Linking lets the SuperPath app act as you when you press its buttons, show your learning and progress on its Home tab and on shared links, and record what you do in SuperPath under your name. It never gives you more access than you already have in SuperPath.


Note: The link request expires after 15 minutes. If it does, press Connect account in Slack again.


Your SuperPath notifications in Slack


SuperPath sends you a direct message from the SuperPath app for the notifications your organisation has switched on for Slack. Depending on your role and your organisation's settings, that includes:


  • learning assigned to you, due soon, overdue, or with a changed due date
  • Roadmaps assigned to you, and feedback on your Roadmap levels
  • badges and certificates you earn, and certificates about to expire
  • the outcome of your learning requests, with the reason when one is declined
  • mentions, invitations and replies in Discussions
  • for Managers, completions by the people you follow
  • for approvers, requests waiting for your approval, with Approve and Decline buttons
  • for Admins, new users, self registrations and other admin updates


Each message has a button that takes you straight to the learning in SuperPath, such as Start learning, Open pathway or Open learning.


Your My Learnings Home tab


Open the SuperPath app in Slack and select Home to see your learning at a glance. The Home tab greets you and shows:


  • Overdue, with how many days each item is overdue
  • Due soon, with the due date
  • In progress, with a progress bar and how much you have completed


Each item has a Continue or Open button that takes you straight to it, and View all in SuperPath opens your full list. The menu at the top of the Home tab has shortcuts to your Notification settings and to Disconnect Slack.



Paste a link to a SuperPath Pathway or course into any Slack channel or message, and it becomes a preview card showing the cover image, title, description, duration and, for a Pathway, the number of steps.


Click the card to open a side panel that only you can see. It shows your own progress and due date, and a Continue button that takes you to your learning. If the learning is not assigned to you, the panel shows the details and an Open button instead.


The card never shows anyone's progress to the channel. Everyone sees the same card, and only the person who opens the side panel sees their own details.



  1. In SuperPath, go to My Profile.
  2. In the Slack section, click Disconnect Slack.


You can also choose Disconnect Slack from the menu on the SuperPath app's Home tab. You keep receiving notifications in Slack after unlinking, but the buttons ask you to link your account again.


Things to keep in mind


  • SuperPath finds you in Slack by your email address, so the email on your SuperPath account must match your Slack account.
  • The SuperPath app only sends you direct messages. It never posts in channels on its own.
  • Previews appear for links on your SuperPath address. Links on a custom domain, and links to drafts, stay as plain links.
  • Marking learning complete happens in SuperPath, not in Slack, so you always complete learning where it lives.


FAQs


I am not receiving SuperPath messages in Slack. Why?
Check that the email on your SuperPath account matches your Slack account. If it does, your organisation may have switched that notification off for Slack, or your own notification settings may be turning it off. Your admin can check.


The buttons ask me to connect my account. What do I do?
Press Connect account and confirm in your browser. You only need to do this once.


Can other people see my progress on a shared link?
No. The card in the channel shows only the learning's details. Your progress appears only in the side panel you open yourself.


Who can do this


Everyone in an organisation that has connected Slack receives SuperPath notifications in Slack and can link and unlink their own Slack account, including Owners, Admins, Managers, Content Managers, People Managers, Instructors, Employees and Restricted users. Which notifications you get depends on your role and your organisation's settings. Connecting Slack itself is limited to Owners and Admins, see How to Connect Your Organisation to Slack.
