PublishPress Pro Has a New Slack Integration

The PublishPress Pro plugin allows you to send notifications about content changes via Slack.

Recently, Slack has made some changes to how integrations worked. So we have had to update the Slack integration in PublishPress Pro.

If you are using PublishPress Pro, you don't have to update immediately. However, at some point, the old system will stop working. This guide shows how to update this plugin to use this new Slack connection.
