Slack connections are set on the user level. If you are not logged in to Grow, you will first need to log in and then you will be redirected to that metric. Clicking the link will take you to the metric in expanded view on the dashboard. The one difference is with Table and HTML charts- Instead of an image being posted in Slack, a link to the metric will be posted. If you share a metric to Slack from most of the chart types, it will post an image of that metric along with the name of who shared it from Grow and a link to take you directly to the metric in Grow. One big difference is that you can only share entire dashboards with PDF reports, and you can only share single metrics to Slack. Sharing to Slack is similar to PDF reports where you have two options: You can share it immediately, or schedule a report to send out regularly.

Leaders can put their most important data in front of individual contributors and help hold them accountable for their progress towards goals. Or help your leaders stay data-driven by instantly sharing metrics right from the dashboard. Keep your team on track by scheduling metrics to their team channel on Slack. In addition to displaying your dashboards on TVs around the office and sending out regular email reports of your dashboards, you can share individual metrics to your company’s Slack channels. You should be making data-driven decisions each day, and you need to make sure the data is in front of the people making the decisions.
