If you are looking for a way to connect your Slack account to your Thrive Themes powered website, then an API connection is one of the ways in which you can do that:

In this article we will go through the steps of setting up and using the API connection with Slack.

You can connect to Slack either from the 'API manager' of your Thrive Dashboard, or directly from the 'Apps' tab, of Thrive Automator.

This will help speed up the process when integrating in the Thrive Dashboard.

In the new dashboard that opens, scroll down until you see the "API Connections" card, and click on "Manage Connections":

Now click on "Add new connection" to start setting up your Slack integration:

Access Thrive Automator:
