STEP 1: In FORA App - Connect to Your Slack Workspace
In the FORA App, navigate to Summarize > Slack Channels > Connect Slack.
Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize the connection to Slack.
If you do not 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." your Slack workspace has already been authorized by your admin.
Once connected, the FORA app will appear under the Apps section in Slack
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 channels).
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 a Digest Frequency:
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. (edited)
