Configuring a Deal Room

A Deal Room is a channel that’s created in Slack when an opportunity or prospect is valued at/above a specific amount or at a certain stage. This option offers you and other team managers/members the flexibility to collaborate, engage with key decision-makers, and be notified about every stage of that important deal in real time.


To create a Deal Room, create an Opportunity by following the steps here: https://support.outplayhq.com/opportunities-in-outplay. Once an Opportunity with the matching criteria is created, a Deal Room will be created in Slack.


You can then choose what notifications you want to receive! Go to “Notifications” > “Deal Rooms” > “Configure what you receive in Deal Rooms” to select which notifications you want to receive in the Deal Room channel. Activity notifications are sent to the channel hourly and can be turned off by unchecking the “Activities on the opportunity” item.
