Using adyntel in Slack

Monitor competitor ads directly from Slack. Get daily reports on new Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google ads without leaving your workspace.
Install the App
Visit integrations.adyntel.com/slack/install, select your workspace, and click Allow to grant the app permission to post messages and respond to commands.
You'll see a confirmation page — the app is now installed in your workspace.
Link Your adyntel Account
Before using any commands, you need to connect your Slack identity to your adyntel account.
In any Slack channel or DM, type:
/adyntel login [email protected] your-api-keyUse the email and API key from your adyntel account. You'll see a confirmation message once it's linked.
Start Tracking a Competitor
You can see all the available commands by typing
/adyntelYou can create a tracking job to monitor a competitor's ads:
This tracks ads on on a daily basis.
Available platforms: facebook, linkedin, google (comma-separated, no spaces)
Available frequencies: daily, weekly, monthly
Once the job is created, the bot will show the platforms scanned, how many ads were found in the initial scan, and the job ID (you'll need this for other commands).
Enable Notifications
When you create a tracking job from Slack, the channel you're in is automatically subscribed to receive reports after each run.
Receive Reports
Tracking runs automatically at 3 AM UTC each day (or weekly/monthly depending on your frequency setting).
After each run, subscribed channels receive a report that includes the advertiser profile for each tracked domain, new ads detected per platform since the last scan, and direct links to each ad in the platform's ad library.
No action needed — reports appear automatically.
Quick Ad Lookup
You can check a competitor's ads without setting up ongoing tracking using the check command:
This performs a single lookup and shows current ads — no job is created, no notifications, no recurring scans. Platform must be specified for one-off checks: facebook, linkedin, or google.

Troubleshooting
The bot isn't responding to my commands — Make sure you've linked your account with /adyntel login. If that doesn't help, check that the app is still installed in your workspace.
Can't get notifications in a private channel — The Adyntel bot must be invited to the private channel first. Add it by typing /invite @Adyntel in the channel.
