Slack

The Kumkuat Slack app brings three things into Slack: audience chat, narrative tests, and alert delivery.

Installing

Open Workspace → Integrations → Slack in the app and click Add to Slack. The install is bound to your Kumkuat workspace, so the person installing must be an admin of it. Slack asks you to approve the app's scopes, then returns you to Kumkuat.

The app needs to post messages, open direct messages, read the channels it is added to, read and write files shared with it, and read user profiles so it can match Slack users to Kumkuat members.

Slash commands

CommandWhat it does
/kumkuat helpHelp and shortcuts
/audience [audience name] [message]Chat with a Kumkuat audience. The reply arrives in the channel or thread where you asked.
/narrativeOpens a dialog to pressure-test a draft against your audiences; the result is posted back with a link to the full report.

Direct messages and files

Message the app directly to chat with the assistant. Share a file with the app in a DM and it offers to run a narrative test on it.

Alerts in Slack

When creating an alert, choose a Slack channel or DM as a delivery channel. Digests are posted with your workspace branding and a link back to the full digest in the app.

Removing

Uninstall from Slack's app management page or from the Integrations tab. Removing the app disables Slack delivery on any alert that used it; the alerts themselves keep running to their other channels.
