Here is a video of the process:
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.
Removing the Slack integration from a Channel
To remove the slack integration from a Channel, you can:
- Type /remove @happeo
Note: You must be a Slack admin to remove Happeo from a Slack Channel.
