Frequently Asked Questions

Does Greenhouse integrate directly with Slack?

Yes, Greenhouse has a native integration with Slack. It is available directly within the Greenhouse app marketplace.

Is the connection between Greenhouse and Slack secure?

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Greenhouse security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way?

This is typically a one-way sync: Greenhouse → Slack. Changes in Slack do not sync back to Greenhouse.

Will existing data in Greenhouse sync to Slack?

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
