Post Helmior announcements to Signal
Helmior can post a pipeline's announcements to a Signal group, but it can't read messages there. Signal is send-only, so magic words and questions don't work. Use it to keep a group informed while the work happens in another chat app.

What works on Signal
| Signal | |
|---|---|
| Helmior posts announcements (e.g. "Acme moved to Won") | Yes |
| Starting records with a magic word | No |
| Asking Helmior questions | No |
| Confirming drafts with "yes" | No |
Signal has no way for an app like Helmior to receive messages, so it can only post to Signal. The dashboard shows Announcements only on the Signal card.
Set it up
- In the Helmior dashboard, go to Settings → Integrations.
- Under Workspaces, find Signal and click Connect. There's nothing to paste.
- Add Helmior's Signal number (shown on the Signal card) to your Signal group.
- Bind the group to a pipeline. If it isn't listed yet, click Sync on the Signal card.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Signal as our only chat app?
Only if nobody needs to update records from chat. Updates, questions and confirmations need Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Discord, Telegram or WhatsApp. See Which chat apps does Helmior work with?.
