Overview

Xorosoft events become Slack messages your team actually sees.

When teams have to check the ERP dashboard for updates, time-sensitive events like a stockout or a large order get missed until someone happens to log in and look. The integration posts Xorosoft events directly into the channels your team already uses, and slash commands let anyone check order or inventory status without leaving Slack. Tap each point to see how.

About the Platform

Who Slack is, and what it brings to Xorosoft

Slack is a business messaging platform - the system Xorosoft connects to for channel notifications and slash commands.

Grew out of a game studio

Slack was built by Stewart Butterfield, Cal Henderson, Eric Costello, and Serguei Mourachov as an internal tool while their team was developing a game called Glitch.

Launched publicly in 2013

Slack launched publicly in August 2013. The name is an acronym for "Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge."

Went public in 2019

Slack went public via a direct listing on the NYSE in 2019.

Acquired by Salesforce

Salesforce acquired Slack in a deal completed in 2021, valued at roughly $27.7 billion.

Slack is known for channel-based messaging, an App Directory for integrations, and features like Slack Connect for cross-company channels.

Key Features

Everything the Slack integration handles

Tap any capability to expand the explanation, benefit, example, and sub-features.

Channel notifications

+

Xorosoft events - new orders, low stock, shipments created - post as formatted messages to mapped Slack channels.

Benefit: the team sees what matters without checking a dashboard.

Example: a new large order posts to #orders the moment it's placed.

Sub-features
  • Order alerts
  • Inventory alerts
  • Shipment alerts

Slash commands

+

Team members can query order, inventory, or fulfillment status directly from a Slack message.

Benefit: answers to common questions without opening Xorosoft.

Example: typing a slash command returns a SKU's current stock level instantly.

Sub-features
  • Order lookup
  • Inventory lookup
  • Fulfillment status lookup

Direct message alerts

+

Specific users can receive a direct message for events tied to their accounts or responsibilities.

Benefit: the right person is notified without flooding a shared channel.

Example: an account owner gets a DM when their customer's order ships.

Sub-features
  • Per-user alerts
  • Account-based routing
  • Reduced channel noise

Configurable alert rules

+

Alert rules define which events post to which channels, and under what conditions.

Benefit: teams see only the events relevant to them.

Example: low-stock alerts route only to warehouse channels, not sales channels.

Sub-features
  • Per-channel rules
  • Event-type filtering
  • Threshold-based alerts

Two-way actions

+

Team members can approve, acknowledge, or reply to a Xorosoft notification directly from Slack.

Benefit: action happens where the notification already is.

Example: approving a purchase order from a Slack message updates it in Xorosoft.

Sub-features
  • Approve / acknowledge buttons
  • Reply-to-update
  • Status sync back to Xorosoft

Workflow Builder compatible

+

Xorosoft events can feed into Slack's own Workflow Builder for further custom automation.

Benefit: teams extend notifications into their own Slack-native workflows.

Example: a shipment alert triggers a Slack workflow that posts a customer-facing update.

Sub-features
  • Workflow Builder triggers
  • Custom Slack automations
  • Event-driven steps

Message threading

+

Related updates for the same order or shipment thread together instead of posting as separate messages.

Benefit: a channel stays readable even with high notification volume.

Example: an order's creation, packing, and shipping updates all thread under one message.

Sub-features
  • Threaded updates
  • Reduced channel clutter
  • Full event history in one thread

Multi-channel routing

+

A single event can route to multiple channels when more than one team needs to know.

Benefit: every relevant team stays informed from one event.

Example: a large order posts to both #orders and #fulfillment at once.

Sub-features
  • Multi-channel delivery
  • Per-team routing
  • Configurable overlap

Reporting

+

Reports on notification volume, slash command usage, and channel activity together.

Benefit: visibility into how the team actually uses Slack alerts.

Example: a dashboard shows which channel gets the most alert traffic.

Sub-features
  • Unified metrics
  • Usage tracking
  • One dataset

Error monitoring

+

Monitors message delivery and flags failed deliveries, permission issues, and rate limits instantly.

Benefit: issues are caught before a channel silently stops getting alerts.

Example: a channel that loses app permissions is flagged before an alert is missed.

Sub-features
  • Error queue
  • Permission / rate limit / failure
  • Instant alerts
