Use TeamScribe in Slack
While the TeamScribe Slack app is optional, it simplifies integrating TeamScribe with your Slack workflows. Install the TeamScribe app in your Slack workspace, connect specific channels to TeamScribe teams, and enable periodic feedback reminders for channel members. As an admin, you'll also access your organization's TeamScribe stats directly in Slack.
Note: The TeamScribe Slack app operates independently from the web app. Activity in the TeamScribe web app does not trigger events or messages in Slack. Use slash commands in Slack to interact with TeamScribe: obtain a sharing URL, connect/disconnect channels, and view current stats.
