Arythmatic + Slack

Bring learning notifications and reminders into Slack

Last Updated: April 2026

Connect Arythmatic with Slack to send course assignment notifications, completion celebrations, and deadline reminders directly to your team's Slack channels.

Why Connect Slack with Your LMS?

Training notifications buried in email inboxes go unread, creating a fundamental engagement problem for L&D teams. Employees check Slack dozens of times per day but may only check email a few times, meaning course assignments and deadline reminders sent via email are often ignored until it is too late. Managers have no real-time visibility into their team's training progress without logging into a separate LMS dashboard, making it difficult to follow up on overdue assignments during regular workflows. The lack of social visibility around learning achievements means completions go uncelebrated, removing a powerful motivational lever. Without meeting employees where they already work and communicate, training programs suffer from low engagement rates and missed compliance deadlines that could have been prevented with timely, visible reminders.

Key Benefits

✓Course assignment and deadline notifications in Slack
