Connecting Slack lets Indent work alongside your team in the tool you already talk in, and link long-running work back to a session in the web app.
Connect Slack
Connect your workspace
Open Slack in Integrations and select Install Slack app. This is an organization install and may need an administrator’s approval. You can select Connect personal account on the same page to link your Slack identity.
Invite Indent to a channel
In the channel you want to use, run /invite @indent.
Start working
Mention @indent with a request. Indent replies in a thread and links long-running work as a
session.
The Slack workspace app connects at organization scope, so your whole team shares one workspace connection. The personal account connection is separate and owned by you.
