Slack Metric
Collaboration
Integration Usage Rate = Active Integrations / Total Installed Integrations × 100
Integration Usage Rate measures how actively installed Slack apps and integrations are used, tracking message volume from bots, user interactions with app commands, and workflow triggers per integration. It reveals which integrations deliver value and which are unused overhead.

How to calculate integration usage rate
Why integration usage rate matters for Slack users
Slack workspaces accumulate integrations over time, and unused integrations create noise, security risk, and confusion. Regular usage analysis ensures that each integration justifies its presence and that new integrations are adopted rather than forgotten.
For Slack administrators, integration usage data informs renewal decisions, identifies integrations that need better onboarding, and surfaces opportunities to consolidate overlapping tools. It is also essential for security audits of third-party access.
Understand and act on integration usage rate with KPI Tree
Extract integration activity data from Slack into your warehouse and compute usage rates per integration in KPI Tree. Link it to workflow automation usage and alert fatigue score in your operations tree.
Assign RACI ownership to IT administrators and conduct quarterly reviews of unused integrations, removing those that no longer provide value.

Workflow Automation Usage
CollaborationMetric Definition
Workflow Usage = Total Workflow Executions / Time Period
Workflow Automation Usage tracks the adoption and execution volume of Slack Workflow Builder automations and custom bot workflows. It measures how many workflows exist, how frequently they are triggered, their completion rates, and the time they save compared to manual processes.
Alert Fatigue Score
CollaborationMetric Definition
Alert Fatigue Score quantifies the degree to which automated alerts in Slack overwhelm recipients, measured through alert volume, acknowledgement rate, and the ratio of actionable to informational alerts. High fatigue scores indicate that noise is drowning out genuine signals.
Platform Adoption Rate
CollaborationMetric Definition
Platform Adoption Rate = Active Users / Total Provisioned Users × 100
Platform Adoption Rate measures the percentage of organisation members who are actively using Slack - sending messages, reacting, or engaging with content - within a defined period. It distinguishes between accounts that exist and accounts that are genuinely adopted into daily workflows.
Workspace Health Score
CollaborationMetric Definition
Workspace Health Score is a composite metric that evaluates the overall health of a Slack workspace by weighting factors such as platform adoption rate, active channel ratio, engagement depth, DM-to-channel ratio, and notification engagement. It provides a single number for tracking workspace quality over time.
