Connect Clubhouse and Slack to Keep Your Engineering Team in Sync
Automate story updates, sprint notifications, and project alerts between Clubhouse and Slack so your team stays aligned without leaving their workflow.
Clubhouse + Slack integration
Clubhouse (now Shortcut) is the project management platform of choice for thousands of software engineering teams, while Slack is where those same teams communicate and collaborate every day. When the two tools operate in silos, story updates, blocking issues, and sprint milestones get missed or buried in manual check-ins. Connecting Clubhouse with Slack means the right people get notified about the right project changes at the right time.
Engineering and product teams live in Slack, but their actual work is tracked in Clubhouse. Without an integration, developers constantly switch between the two — manually checking story statuses, hunting down blockers, or pinging teammates to confirm updates. Connect the two and you can surface story progress, new assignments, priority changes, and sprint completions directly in the channels where your team already works. Fewer manual status updates, fewer meetings, and real-time visibility for engineering managers into project health — without asking anyone to change how they work.
Automate & integrate Clubhouse + Slack
Automating Clubhouse and Slack business processes or integrating data is made easy with Tray.ai.
Use case
Instant Story Status Notifications
Automatically post a Slack message whenever a Clubhouse story moves to a new workflow state — In Progress, In Review, Done, whatever your team uses. Everyone gets real-time visibility into work moving through the pipeline without logging into Clubhouse. This is especially useful for cross-functional teams who need to track delivery without living inside the project tool.
- Eliminates manual status update messages in Slack
- Gives product managers real-time delivery visibility
- Reduces unnecessary standups and check-in meetings
Use case
New Story Assignment Alerts
When a Clubhouse story is assigned or reassigned, the new owner automatically gets a Slack DM with the story title, description, and a direct link. No ticket goes unnoticed, and engineers can jump straight from Slack into the relevant Clubhouse story without any hunting.
- Reduces time between assignment and first action
- Ensures developers never miss a newly assigned ticket
- Provides direct deep links for instant context
Use case
Blocker and Priority Escalation Alerts
When a Clubhouse story is flagged as blocked or escalated to critical priority, a notification goes straight to a dedicated Slack channel — like #eng-blockers or #incidents. Engineering leads can immediately triage and pull in the right people. The gap between a blocker being logged and a blocker being resolved gets a lot smaller.
- Speeds up response time for critical blockers
- Creates a dedicated escalation channel for high-priority issues
- Keeps engineering leads informed without constant Clubhouse monitoring
Use case
Daily Sprint Summary Digests
Schedule a recurring Slack message each morning that summarizes the current sprint — stories completed yesterday, stories in progress, and items not yet started. It replaces the manual effort of pulling sprint reports before standup and gives teams a consistent, data-driven snapshot to start their day.
- Replaces manual sprint reporting with automated digests
- Gives the entire team a consistent daily starting point
- Surfaces at-risk or untouched stories before they slip
Use case
Epic Milestone Announcements
When a Clubhouse epic reaches completion or hits a defined milestone, an announcement automatically goes out to your product or engineering Slack channel. It's a small thing that makes team wins visible, keeps broader stakeholders in the loop, and signals to dependent teams that downstream work can begin.
- Celebrates team achievements publicly
- Keeps stakeholders informed of major project milestones
- Triggers downstream workflows for dependent teams
Use case
New Bug or Chore Story Triage Routing
When a new Clubhouse story comes in tagged as a Bug or labeled with a specific tag, it automatically routes a notification to the right Slack channel — like #bugs or #tech-debt — with the story details and a triage link. Bugs are visible to the right team immediately rather than sitting unreviewed in a backlog. You can define routing rules based on label, project, or team ownership.
- Routes bugs and chores to the right channel automatically
- Prevents high-priority bugs from sitting unseen in the backlog
- Supports custom routing logic based on labels or projects
Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating Clubhouse and Slack — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
Mapping Clubhouse Users to Slack Users
Clubhouse and Slack maintain separate user identity systems, so a person's Clubhouse UUID has no automatic connection to their Slack user ID. Without a reliable mapping layer, DM notifications and @mention alerts don't reach the right people.
How Tray.ai helps
Tray.ai includes a data mapping step that looks up a user's shared email address across both systems, resolving the Clubhouse member profile to the correct Slack user ID before sending any notification — so every alert reaches the right person.
Challenge
Handling High-Volume Story Update Events
Active engineering teams can generate hundreds of Clubhouse story updates per day. Without filtering logic, a naive integration will flood Slack channels with noise until teams start ignoring notifications altogether — which defeats the whole point.
How Tray.ai helps
Tray.ai workflows support conditional logic and branching, so you can define precise filters — notify only on state changes to specific workflow states, or only on stories belonging to a particular project or epic. Slack channels get only the updates worth acting on.
Challenge
Keeping Slack Notifications Actionable and Formatted
Raw API data from Clubhouse webhooks is nested JSON that, passed directly to Slack, produces unreadable or incomplete messages. Teams need clean notifications that include the story title, state, assignee, and a working deep link — not a wall of raw data.
How Tray.ai helps
Tray.ai's built-in data transformation tools let you extract, reformat, and enrich Clubhouse webhook payloads before they hit Slack. You can build fully formatted Slack Block Kit messages with buttons, story links, and structured fields — giving recipients everything they need to act immediately.
Templates
Pre-built workflows for Clubhouse and Slack you can deploy in minutes.
Clubhouse Story State Change → Slack Channel Notification
Clubhouse 
Slack Monitors Clubhouse for story workflow state changes and posts a formatted Slack notification to a specified channel, including the story name, new state, assignee, and a direct link to the story.
New Clubhouse Story Assignment → Slack DM to Assignee
Clubhouse Slack Detects when a Clubhouse story is assigned or reassigned and sends an automatic Slack direct message to the new owner with full story context and a deep link.
Clubhouse Blocked Story → Slack Escalation Alert
Clubhouse Slack Watches for Clubhouse stories flagged as blocked and immediately posts an alert to a dedicated Slack escalation channel with the story details and current owner.
Scheduled Daily Sprint Digest → Slack Channel
Clubhouse Slack Runs every morning on a schedule, queries the active Clubhouse sprint for story counts by state, and posts a structured daily digest to the team's Slack channel.
Slack Slash Command → Create Clubhouse Story
Slack Clubhouse Enables engineers to type a slash command in Slack to trigger a story creation form, then automatically creates the story in Clubhouse and posts a confirmation message back to the channel.
Clubhouse Epic Completed → Slack Announcement
Clubhouse Slack Detects when a Clubhouse epic transitions to a completed state and posts an announcement to a product or all-hands Slack channel with epic details and a summary of included stories.
