Slack

Post new comments to a Slack channel. Slack is visibility. Linear is tracking.

Connect Slack

Go to your dashboard and click Settings in the sidebar.

Click Connect Slack. Approve the install in Slack. One Slack workspace maps to one Lay account.

If another Lay account already connected that workspace, disconnect it there first, or sign in with that account.

Open a project. Enable Slack and choose a public channel. Each project can post to a different channel.

Private channels are not listed. Turning Slack off on a project stops new posts. It does not disconnect the workspace.

Slack is one-way. Lay posts into the channel. Slack does not write back.

A new root comment posts a message: page, quoted text, element, author, and Open in Lay.
Replies post in that message's thread.
Screenshot and developer triage update the original message when they are ready.

Marking a comment done from Slack is not available yet. Resolve it in Lay or in Linear.

Slack and Linear can both be on. The same comment can become a Linear issue and a Slack post. Linear keeps the issue. Slack tells the channel.

Disconnect Slack from Settings to remove the connection, tokens, and project channel configs. Messages already in Slack stay there.
