Does Slack for Confluence support Confluence Q&A?
Asked by ppittle:

The Confluence QA integration with HipChat supports notifications when a new Question is Asked in Confluence Q\&A:

Does Slack for Confluence also support getting this information into Slack? Also will it support notifications when a new answer is added?

We've released Confluence Questions compatibility as of October 2017. Let me know if this satisfies your requirements!

I, unfortunately, can not find the corresponding place with slack notifications configuration for Confluence's Questions \& Answers. Not that I can find anything slack related in the documentation of the addon. We use cloud, q\&a installed as an app.

Could you please direct me to the right place by providing a relative link or exact piece of documentation how to reach the page with slack settings for q\&a?

Thank you!

The configuration for Confluence Q\&A is available underneath the General Configuration and Space Configuration sections of Slack for Confluence.

You can find the General Configuration as [described in the documentation](https://codefortynine.com/slack-for-confluence/#markdown-header-general-usage):
> Please head to the General configuration \[of Confluence\] and select the "Slack for Confluence" menu entry on the left side under the "Configuration" category.

Maybe the following screenshot also helps you finding our General Configuration:

Let me know if you need further assistance - happy to help!

body: Confluence Webhooks have not been released yet and I don't know if there is official word on when that will happen. They are listed in [Confluence Developer](https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/modules/common/webhook.html) so I think it will happen eventually but again, nothing official.
