New Premium feature launching Wednesday January 28th
Summary
You can make LaunchNotes announcements appear as if they're coming from your company by customizing the sender name and icon in your Slack integration settings. This helps your team recognize announcements as official company updates rather than third-party messages. Custom branding for Slack is available on Premium plans.

Click on the Slack integration card (not Control for Slack card).
Connect to a Slack channel if you haven't already.
Go to the Sender customizations section.

Enter your company name in the Sender field.
Choose what type of image to display:
Custom image: Enter a public image url to your company icon (must be 512 x 512 px)
Emoji: Enter a Slack emoji (e.g., :rocket:, :bell:, :tada:)
Click Save
