Slack integration
How to use the Slack integration
cord's Slack integration enables you to be notified of new people in your streams and new incoming message requests from people through a Slack app. It will help you source with less effort and with more speed (it will also save your email inbox 😊).
Connecting Slack
To connect Slack, you can go to Settings in your cord account and navigate to the Integrations tab. Clicking on the Connect button will redirect you to Slack where you can sing into your workspace and add the cord app (in some cases the cord slack app may require authorisation from a Slack admin).

You should receive a welcome message from the cord Slack app in your Slack. It will appear under the ‘apps’ section in the bottom left of Slack.
