STEP 1: In FORA App - Connect to Your Slack Workspace
In the FORA App, navigate to Summarize > Slack Channels
Contact your admin if you see the following message:"Connect Slack: FORA needs access to Slack in order to create Slack Digests of your channels. Contact us or your admin for details."
If you’re the admin/executive click Connect Slack button
Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize the connection to Slack.
Once connected, the FORA app will appear under the Apps section in Slack (see screenshot below).
Note: This is a one-time setup and applies to your entire organization.
STEP 2: In Slack - Add FORA Bot to Public Slack Channels
Note: FORA can only summarize public Slack channels (not private ones). Any user can add FORA to a public channel
To add FORA to a channel:
Go to the public Slack channel you want to summarize.
Type the command
/invite @FORAOnce added, you will see a confirmation message like the screenshot below in Slack.
STEP 3: In FORA App - Create a Slack Channel Digest
NOTE: After adding the FORA integration to your workspace, users can choose to summarize one or more channels at regular intervals. For example, a user could create a Sales Weekly Digest that summarizes all messages from the #sales channel on a weekly basis. Users can also combine multiple channels into a single summary for easier access and better analysis.
Navigate to Summarize > Slack Channels.
Create a Slack Digest for the channels which you added FORA in Step 2.
You may select single or multiple channels to summarize.
Choose whether to summarize messages on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence
Daily – Repeats every day at midnight.
Weekly – Repeats every Sunday at midnight.
Monthly – Repeats on the last day of each month at midnight.
Once you create a Slack Digest, it will appear under Recent Summaries after summarization.
