Set up Slack or Mattermost alerts
Paste one webhook URL and the channel your team already watches starts telling you who is watching your work.
The intelligence feed is where you read the full story; alerts are for the moments that should interrupt you. Pointing them at Slack or Mattermost takes two minutes.
Connect the channel
- Create an incoming webhook in your chat tool (both Slack and Mattermost offer this in their integration settings) and copy its URL.
- In HoldFast, open Settings → Integrations and paste the URL into the Slack or Mattermost field.
- Click Test and watch the channel. A test message arriving is the whole setup confirmed.
One URL, a test click, and per-type checkboxes for what posts to the channel.
Choose what posts
Each integration has per-type checkboxes, so the channel gets what your team acts on:
- Repeat viewer: a contact comes back to a reel a third time.
- Rewatch spike: the same clip rewatched three or more times.
- Download: someone pulls a file.
- Score threshold: a contact crosses into hot territory on engagement scoring.
Every rule carries a cooldown, so one hot viewer is one ping, not a flood. What each alert means and when it fires is covered in Get alerted when someone is watching.
If you run a CRM
The same alert stream can log as activities in a connected CRM (Copper today), so a rep opening the contact sees the rewatch next to their emails. Deeper CRM pushes live in Integrations.
Questions
What does an alert message contain?
The viewer as a name and company where known, what they did, and a link into Insights. Alerts are deliberately privacy-light: they never carry a raw viewer email into your chat history.
Why did an alert not fire twice for the same person?
Cooldowns. Each rule has a per-viewer cooldown so an enthusiastic rewatcher generates one useful ping instead of a channel flood.
