If you haven't already, you'll first need to add Matter to your Slack workspace. Then you'll need to add Matter to a Slack channel - either new or existing, public or private channel. We recommend watching our Matter Installation for Slack video guide.

Option 1: Add Matter to Existing Public/Private Channel

  1. Go to the existing public/private channel.

  2. Type @MatterBot install into the channel.

  3. Slack will prompt you to invite MatterBot to the channel. Hit Invite Them.

  4. Once invited successfully, MatterBot will send a welcome kudos in the channel.

Option 2: Create a New Matter Channel

  1. Inside Slack, go to Apps > MatterBot

  2. In the Home tab, click the New Matter Channel button.

  3. Name your channel (e.g., #matter, #kudos).

  4. Add people to the channel.

    1. Note: You can add individual members or select an entire existing channel that will add all members of that channel.

  5. Click Next and the channel will be set up.

Option 3: Add Matter to Existing Public Channel

  1. Inside Slack, go to Apps > MatterBot

  2. In the Home tab, click the New Matter Channel button.

  3. Select Use existing channel instead button.

  4. In the drop-down, select an existing public channel.

  5. Click Next and MatterBot will be added to the channel.
