Let me guess, you’ve spent weeks building a beautiful, resource-packed partner portal. You’ve announced it, you’ve done the training, and you’re excited for the engagement to roll in.
And then... your top partner Slacks you: "Hey, any update on that Acme Corp deal?"
It’s the reality of modern partnerships. Your partners live in Slack. It’s their digital office, their main hub. Asking them to constantly leave it, log into another system, and hunt for information is a major point of friction. Every login is a barrier to engagement.
But what if you didn't have to force them to choose? What if you could bring the power of your partner program directly into the tool they already have open all day? Journeybee and Slack integration is designed to connect your strategic partner management hub with the fast-paced world of Slack, making your partner engagement fully automated. Now, you can meet your partners everywhere (or at least meet them where they are most active, and online).
These days, engagement is everything. Journeybee is the PRM platform built on a simple idea: your partner program should live where your partners work. By deeply integrating your portals, projects, and CRM with tools like Slack, we help you build partnerships that drive real revenue.
How Journeybee Actually Works Inside Your Slack
It’s not another way to spam your channels. It’s a smarter way for you and your partners to get real work done, right where you’re already talking.
1. From Slack Chat to Submitted Deal in Seconds
You know the drill. A partner gets excited about a new lead in a Slack message. But then comes the sigh… they have to stop, find the portal login, and fill out a form. The momentum is gone.
What if they could just submit the lead right then and there?
That's exactly what this does. It lets your partners say, "Hey, I've got someone for you!" message into a real, registered deal in your system without ever leaving the conversation. No hassle, no context-switching, just way more leads for you.
- The Old Way: A partner sends a lead into the "black hole." Days later, they're Slacking you for an update, forcing you to dig through your CRM, and manually type out a response.
- The New Way: Your partner registers a deal in Journeybee. When your sales team updates the deal in your CRM, Journeybee automatically pushes a notification to the shared Slack channel: "🎉 Deal: Acme Corp has moved to 'Proposal Presented' stage! Value: $50,000". The partner gets instant visibility, feels valued, and you don't have to do a thing. Or even better, your partner sends you a lead directly through Slack, which lands into Journeybee. Again, you didn’t have to do anything.
2. Stop Digging Through DMs and Emails
We’ve all played that fun game: "Where did my partner tell me that critical detail?" Was it in an email? A portal message? A Slack DM from last week?
Journeybee ends the chaos. It pulls all your conversations—from Slack and the portal—into one single, clean thread. It becomes the one source of truth for your partnership. No more hunting for information, just a complete story of everything you've discussed, all in one spot.
Get Notified Instantly When:
- A new partner registers a lead or deal.
- A key partner logs into the portal after 30 days of inactivity.
- A partner views a critical piece of content, like your new pricing sheet.This gives your team real-time intelligence, allowing you to engage proactively when the moment is right.
3. Know What’s Happening, The Second It Happens
Waiting around for updates kills everyone's motivation. This integration creates a live feed of your partner world that keeps the energy high.
- For Your Partners: Instead of them having to ping you, a friendly notification pops up in their Slack the moment their deal moves forward. Think: "🎉 Congrats! Acme Corp just moved to the Proposal stage." They feel connected and valued, and you don't have to type a thing.
- For Your Team: You get your own private mission control. Imagine a #partnerships channel that gives you a heads-up when a new lead comes in, or when a top partner checks out your new pricing sheet. It lets you jump in at the perfect moment to help them out or cheer them on.
Journeybee’s in-built messaging integrates with Slack and other apps to funnel all conversations into a single, unified thread within Journeybee. This means:
- No more searching: You have a complete, chronological history of every conversation with a partner, no matter where it started.
- Gather smarter insights: You can easily spot patterns, identify common questions, and understand what your partners really need to succeed.
The Real Business Value (Why Your CFO Will Care)
Integrating your PRM with Slack isn't just about convenience; it's about driving tangible results:
- By meeting partners where they are, you remove friction. More engagement naturally leads to more leads and more revenue.
- Real-time notifications mean faster follow-ups and quicker deal progression.
- Automating status updates frees up your partner managers from administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on strategic coaching and recruitment.
- A transparent, easy-to-use process builds trust. Partners who feel informed and valued are partners who stick around and sell more.
Setup is a Breeze (No, Really)
You don't need a developer or a week of training. Connecting your PRM for Slack takes just a few minutes.
- Connect: Log in to your Journeybee account, go to Settings > Integrations, select Slack, and click “Connect”.
- Authorise: A new window will open. Simply log in to your Slack workspace and approve the Journeybee integration.
- Configure: Choose which notifications you want to send to which channels. That's it!
Requirements and Notes
- You must be a member of the connected Slack workspace to use the integration.
- If a Slack user does not have a Journeybee account, they will automatically be created as an "indirect user." They cannot log into Journeybee directly but can still create leads and sync messages through Slack.
- Please note that attachments can be sent from Slack to Journeybee, but not yet from Journeybee to Slack.

Frequently Asked Questions
A PRM (Partner Relationship Management) for Slack is an integration that connects your core partner management platform directly with the Slack messaging app. It allows you and your partners to perform key actions like registering deals, getting real-time updates, and syncing messages without having to leave the Slack environment, drastically reducing friction and increasing engagement.
Yes. The integration is designed for flexibility. You can map different partnership message rooms in Journeybee to distinct Slack channels, ensuring that communication for specific partners (e.g., #partner-acme-corp) or regions (#partners-emea) remains organized and private.
It boosts engagement by eliminating the #1 reason partners don't use portals: the friction of logging in. By pushing critical information directly to them in a tool they already use, you are making it effortless for them to stay in the loop and top-of-mind.
No. Your partners do not need a paid Journeybee seat. The notifications are pushed to your shared Slack channels, so as long as they are a member of that channel, they will receive the updates.
A simple bot just pushes information one way. Journeybee’s integration is a two-way street. It not only pushes updates to Slack but also integrates with our central messaging hub, allowing you to pull conversations from Slack into a single, trackable thread, giving you a complete 360-degree view.

You can't register a deal, trigger CRM updates, or maintain a permanent system of record in a standard Slack channel. Our integration turns conversations into measurable actions.
