A private session is visible only to you; by default, sessions are visible to everyone in your organization. Personal integrations rely on private sessions, so the two work together.
Make a session private
If you created the session, open the share control in the session header and make the session private. Only you can see it afterward.
Some sessions are private automatically:
- A direct message with Indent in Slack.
- Any session that runs on your computer in the desktop app.
Slack channel threads stay visible to your organization.
Organization and personal integrations
Every integration connects at one of two scopes:
- Organization — the connection is shared with your team, and anyone in the organization can use it.
- Personal — the connection is owned by you, and only you can use it.
Personal scope is available only for integrations that support it. Database connections, GitHub App installations, and the Slack workspace app are organization-scoped. GitHub and Slack also offer personal account connections. Teammates can see whether you have connected a personal account, but they cannot use it.
Connect a personal integration
Open Integrations, select the integration, and select its personal connection option. You authorize it with your own account, and Indent acts with your access instead of the team’s.
Use a personal integration in a session
Open the integrations picker in a session. It has three tabs: All, Shared, and Personal. Personal integration tools work only in private sessions. If the session is organization-visible, selecting one asks you to make the session private. Confirm the change, then select the integration.
A connected personal GitHub account is also used to author pull requests you request in any session where you participate.
