Integrating kintone with Slack enables users to receive a notification via Slack direct message when they are set as an assignee of a record.
This is beneficial if users are managing tasks using kintone apps and Slack.

• The e-mail address registered in kintone must match the e-mail address registered in the Slack workspace.
• Slack Integration can also be set up for apps in private spaces or guest spaces.
  Guest users can also receive Slack Integration notifications if their e-mail address registered in kintone matches the e-mail address registered in the Slack workspace.
• Slack Integration cannot be used when Department Access Control is enabled. Make sure that Department Access Control is disabled.
