The GoLinks bot is the perfect addition to get your team using go links directly in Slack. This article is meant to assist with explaining how to download the Slack app and how to integrate and use the GoLinks Bot within the app.
Adding the GoLinks Bot to Slack and Public Slack Channels
- To get the Slack app, you can install it directly from the Slack marketplace or you can do it directly within your GoLinks dashboard through this Integration Guide.
- Then, go back to your Slack app settings to Manage bot access in channels.
- There are 2 options after installing the GoLinks bot:
- Automatically add GoLinks bot to every public channel (recommended)
- Enforce manual invite to each channel individually (not recommended)
- If the bot has not been added to a channel, go/links shared within that channel will not turn into clickable links, which can be confusing and require manual work to invite the bot. To ensure seamless functionality from the bot, we recommended automatically add the bot to every public channel.
- Once you’ve selected an option, click Save.
- To add the bot or check if it is present in a channel, simply enter <invite @GoLinks>
Your team members should now be able to use GoLinks in Slack channels with ease. If you need further assistance, please consult the GoLinks Help Center or Chat with Us.
