The Dashboard Schedules can be easily set up to send a dashboard (image, PDF, Excel or CSVs) to a Slack channel (or several).
This uses the Slack Email App and a specifically created mail-in email address. When we send emails to Slack email addresses, we specifically format it so it renders nicely in Slack.
Few notes:
