Our team uses Slack too - but I've not seen a method where I could launch a course (or even a webpage, Google form, etc.) from inside Slack directly. Have you set this up already with another application or program that you could use as guidance?
Hi Ben. Did you by any chance find a solution? I have been looking for the same solution, but have not found anything outside of Slack integrations with certain LMS's. Even the integrations only replace course emails with slack notifications, which really isn't that helpful. I think Slack is a great social platform that people are already using, so it makes sense to try to use it similar to how some LMS companies have added social learning to their software (usually at a high cost). I see that Captivate Prime has an integration, maybe Articulate can get Articulate Online integrated?

You should be able to do this if Slack will allow you to post a webpage.
Thanks, but Slack does not allow iframes by default. I'm not sure how to display a web page, or if it's possible in Slack
Hi Ben,

No, I haven't set this up. And I don't think there is a way to display websites or iframes in Slack, at least not by default.
Slack can very customizable so I was hoping there is a way. I'd like to use Slack and chatbots instead of an LMS, but this is a hangup.
Keep us posted if you figure out a way, I"m sure it's something that would interest others here in the ELH community.

If not, you could possibly build your own app or API integration. Check out this page in the Slack help center: https://api.slack.com/slack-apps
