What does the OrgOrg Slack integration do?

It brings the apps to Slack. Go links unfurl in any channel, kudos post as the bot, and /oncall pages the rotation. Feedback requests and survey invitations arrive as messages, and a roster keeps a channel's members in sync. One connection, made from Settings in OrgOrg.

Does OrgOrg read my Slack messages?

The bot watches messages for go/ so it can unfurl the link, and it answers the /oncall command. It stores no message text. Everything it posts comes from an action in OrgOrg: a kudos, a page, a feedback request, a survey.

Can OrgOrg keep a Slack channel's members in sync?

Yes. A roster is a group of people by rule, such as everyone with the title Engineer or everyone with direct reports. Map the roster to a channel, and OrgOrg adds and removes members as the directory changes.

Is the Slack integration free?

Yes. The integration comes with the suite, which is free for teams of up to 5 people, and every app that uses it is included on every plan.

Integration

Slack integration for HR tools: go links, kudos, on-call, and rosters in Slack

The Slack integration puts OrgOrg where your team already talks. Go links unfurl in any channel, kudos post as the OrgOrg bot, /oncall pages the rotation, survey and feedback requests arrive as messages, and a roster keeps a channel's members in sync.

What connects

Go links: type go/<name> in any channel or DM and it unfurls to the destination with its owner.
Thanks: a kudos posts to Slack as the OrgOrg bot or on behalf of the sender, and lands on the recipient's profile.
On-Call: /oncall opens an incident and pages the rotation; incident updates post to the channel you attach.
Feedback and surveys: feedback requests, kudos, and survey invitations post through Slack, on a release schedule when you want one.
Rosters: a rule such as 'everyone with the title Engineer' keeps a channel's members current.
Notices: the inbox, email, and Slack get one call, and each person's preferences decide which arrive.

The apps that use it

How to set it up

Open the connectors page. In OrgOrg, go to Settings, then Connectors, and click Connect on the Slack tile.
Pick the workspace. Slack asks which workspace OrgOrg may join and what the bot may do. Confirm, and Slack sends you back to OrgOrg with the connection working.
Attach the channels. Pick a channel for on-call incident updates on each rotation, and map a roster to a channel for the groups you want kept in sync.
Tell the team about go/. From then on, go/<name> in any message unfurls, and the /oncall command pages the rotation.

The full guide, with screenshots, is at the help page.
