Setting up your Slack integration

The Slack integration will allow you and your team to privately view a list of who's working right now or any time today. You can do this by typing /assembled now in any channel or DM in Slack

How do I add Assembled to Slack?

  • Make sure you have a Slack account in the workspace you'd like to connect to. Depending on your workspace's permissions, you may need to request approval from the Workspace Owner. See the official Slack page for more details.
  • You should be able to select Slack as an integration from Configure > Third-party Integrations, as below.
