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](https://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 your@email.com your-api-key
```

Use the email and API key from your adyntel account. You'll see a confirmation message once it's linked.

You can see all the available commands by typing

```
/adyntel
```

### 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.

###

### Start Tracking a Competitor

You can create a tracking job to monitor a competitor's ads:

```
/adyntel track add competitor.com facebook daily
```

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).

###

### Quick Ad Lookup

You can check a competitor's ads without setting up ongoing tracking using the `check` command:

```
/adyntel check clay.com google
```

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`.

###

### Managing Your Jobs

You can see all your tracking jobs by running:

```
/adyntel track list
```

To pause a job (stops scanning but keeps all historical data):

```
/adyntel track pause <job_id>
```

To permanently delete a job:

```
/adyntel track delete <job_id>
```

### 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.
