User Notifications vs ZAFS Alert For Slack

User Notifications lets you seamlessly inform WordPress & WooCommerce users about updates, sales, and more via the site navigation menu. You can add a notification menu easily by using the [notifications_dogbytemarketing] shortcode to inject a notification bell into your menu. The bell displays a badge when new notifications are available, ensuring users never miss an update. If you use something other than BootStrap icons, you can do [notifications_dogbytemarketing class=”your-icon-class”] to use your own icons. You can also use the “class_container” attribute to add additional classes to the notification-container element. This plugin is ideal for websites and WooCommerce stores looking to improve user engagement and streamline notification delivery. Features Supports WooCommerce Send notifications when a WooCommerce order is completed (shipped) Custom post type for creating and managing notifications. Integration with WordPress menus using a shortcode. Dynamic badge to highlight unread notifications. Sidebar notifications for detailed views of messages. Clean and modern design with customizable icons and styles.

ZAFS Alert For Slack sends messages to your Slack workspace when important events happen on your WordPress site. This plugin is developed by Zohaib Murtaza and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Slack. Create multiple notification rules — each with its own Slack app, channel, event, and custom message template. Use dynamic variables like {post_title}, {user_login}, or {order_total} in your messages. WordPress events include published posts, new user registrations, and new comments. WooCommerce support — when WooCommerce is active, you can also notify Slack about new orders, order status changes, low stock, and new products. Features Save multiple Slack apps (name + bot token) and reuse them across notifications Multiple notification rules (different apps, channels, and events per rule) Connect with a Slack Bot User OAuth Token (xoxb-...) Load and select channels from your workspace Custom message templates with merge tags Send test messages before going live Encrypted token storage at rest Export and import apps and notifications as JSON (backup, migration) WordPress events: post published, user registered, comment posted WooCommerce events (when WooCommerce is active): product created, new order, order status changed, low stock Slack setup Create a Slack app at api.slack.com/apps Add Bot Token Scopes: channels:read, groups:read (required for private channels), chat:write Install the app to your workspace and copy the Bot User OAuth Token Invite the bot to the channel: /invite @YourBot Paste the token in the plugin and click Load channels Privacy Slack bot tokens and notification settings are stored in your WordPress database (tokens are encrypted at rest). No data is sent to the plugin author. External services This plugin connects to Slack (Slack Technologies, LLC) through the Slack Web API at https://slack.com/api/. Slack is required to verify bot tokens, list channels, and deliver alert messages you configure. What is sent and when When you save a Slack app — the plugin sends your Bot User OAuth Token to Slack (auth.test) to verify the token and read the workspace name. When you click Load channels — the plugin sends the token to Slack to list channels your bot can access (conversations.list and related methods). When you send a test message or a notification fires — the plugin sends the token, target channel ID, and the message text (built from your template and event data such as post title, user login, order total, or product name) to Slack (chat.postMessage). You choose which events trigger notifications. If WooCommerce is active, order-related templates may include billing email, order totals, and product details you include in the message template.
