      Slack bot

      In this article, you will find information regarding Slack Bot and how to enable, disable and remove it for your Happeo Channel

      Happeo Slack bot helps you to show Happeo content in Slack Channels. Slack chatbot requires 2 things to work:

      2. Channel owner/editor(s) needs to connect a Slack Channel with the Happeo Channel

      Enabling a Slack integration to organization

      To enable Slack integration in your organization you'll need a Happeo admin and a Slack workspace admin.

      1. Open up the Admin panel Integrations
      2. Click on Add to Slack
      3. Enable the Happeo bot in your Slack workspace

      Enabling a private Slack integration to a Channel

      The process to enable a private Slack Channel integration to a Happeo Channel is a little different as opposed to a public one. 

      In order to enable a private Slack Channel integration, you first have to add the @Happeo app as a member of that private Slack Channel. After you have done so, you can proceed with the usual steps that are required to integrate a Slack Channel into a Happeo Channel. 

      Note: The Happeo environment can only be integrated into a single Slack Workspace.

      Disabling the Slack integration from a Channel 

      Disabling a Slack integration from a Happeo Channel is quite similar to enabling one. Instead of the Slack command e.g., /happeo connect 123 you simply replace the "connect" with "disconnect" and paste the command into the Slack channel you wish to disconnect your Happeo Channel from.  

      Note: make sure that you also toggle off the Slack integration in your Happeo Channel's settings! You can do so by navigating to the specific Happeo Channel > click on the Channel's Settings in the Channel menu on the top right > scroll down to Integrations > and toggle off Slack.
