Add Dash to Slack

Dash lives in your Slack. Adding it takes about a minute and one OAuth approval from a workspace admin. Once Dash is in, you can ask it to do work like any other teammate.

What you need

Section titled “What you need”
  • A Slack workspace you can install apps into (or an admin who can approve)
  • A work email
  • One spare minute

Install

Section titled “Install”
  1. Go to dashpup.ai/install. Click Add to Slack.
  2. Slack will ask you to choose the workspace where Dash should live. Pick the workspace and click Allow.
  3. If you are not the workspace admin, Slack will send the request to your admin. Most admins approve in under an hour. While you wait, you can keep reading.
  4. Once approved, Dash will DM you in Slack to say hello.

Your first ask

Section titled “Your first ask”

In any channel where Dash is a member, type:

@Dash what can you do?

Dash will reply with a short summary of what it can help with in your workspace, including which tools you have already connected and which ones it would like to add.

You can also DM Dash directly. DMs are private to you. Try:

Hi Dash. What is on my plate today?

If Dash has access to your calendar and a few tools, it will summarize your day. If it does not have access yet, it will tell you which connection it needs to answer the question.

Common questions on day one

Section titled “Common questions on day one”

My admin has not approved yet. That is normal. Slack admins see Dash as a new app pending approval. You can nudge them with the link https://dashpup.ai/install or share this help article.

Dash is in my workspace but not in my channel. Type /invite @Dash in any channel to add it.

Dash should NOT be in a channel. Type /kick @Dash in that channel. Dash will never read or post in channels it is not a member of.
