How to set it up

  1. You must be an admin or owner to install the integration.

  2. Click on your team's icon in the top left corner of Slite to get to your Settings.

💌 Sharing a Slite doc to Slack

First, permissions. When you go to share for the first time, you'll need to authorize Slack x Slite:

After clicking "Link account", you'll see a popup screen to choose which Slack community you're connecting in Slite.

Click "Allow" on the next popup, and you're all set. Now that the integration's activated, you can share any Slite doc in any public Slack channel:

  1. Click on the Share icon in the top right of your doc. You can click the Slack icon to share to Slack. ⚠️ You'll have to link your individual account so we can list your channels.

  2. Pick any channel or DM from the dropdown menu.

  3. Choose whether to attach the note in Slack, or add a custom message.

  4. Once shared, the Slack channel will have access to the Slite doc along with an in-app link to it.

What your team will see

Common issues

Slack is connected but searching Slite from Slack doesn't work:

This can happen because your team is using multiple Slite teams with Slack. Contact our support if Slack search isn't working.

You aren't able to share to Slack, and you see an error that Slack isn't enabled yet.

Just ask an admin for your team to install it.
