Slack Notifications
Notifications received in Slack are public reminders, they are received by everyone at the same time in a Slack channel. You can choose the day that you want to receive them, for example, a day or two before your planning meeting so that everyone is reminded to complete their evaluation before the planning meeting.
The reminder comes as a single message containing:
- The number of issues each user has to evaluate.
- The number of questions a user received from other users.
- Appreciation message for each user who has evaluated all the issues.
