Which marketing brings in paying customers?
Every ad platform takes credit for the same customer. Google, Meta and your email tool can each claim one booking, and they cannot all be right. You need one count you can trust.

How GitHub and Slack records line up
GitHub and Slack share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in GitHub deployments can be read against what Slack recorded in the same hours.
What revenue attribution uses from each
Revenue attribution needs a way to connect a touchpoint to a payment.
From GitHub that means release dates for changes to checkout or booking flows. From Slack it means launch announcements in the channels you connect.
These two tools hold no shared customer identifier, so per-customer answers need a third connected tool that each side can match, such as GA4 or your CRM. Daily totals work with these two alone.
Slack is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
