Channels

Decide in Slack, Teams or email

Send approval cards to Slack or Microsoft Teams, and decide in place. Email works with no setup.

About 5 minutes

Before you start

• An owner or admin role to connect a workspace
• For Teams: the promptcompute app installed in your Microsoft 365 tenant

Steps

1. Email

   Nothing to set up. Every approver gets a card with Approve and Reject buttons; the links work once and expire.

2. Connect Slack

   Under Slack and Teams, press Connect Slack and approve the app. Optionally paste a channel id (it looks like C0123456789) for a shared channel.

3. Link each person

   The first time someone presses a button in Slack, they get a private link to connect their account. After that, buttons decide at once.

4. Connect Teams

   Enter your Microsoft tenant id. Each approver sends any message to the promptcompute bot and opens the link it replies with.

5. Decide

   Cards update in place when anyone decides. High-risk cards link to the inbox, where a passkey confirms it is you.

Use cases

What you will see

Approvers decide where they already work, and every card shows the outcome once anyone decides.

If something goes wrong

Slack is not configured on this server

The deployment has no Slack app yet. An operator sets SLACK_CLIENT_ID and the secrets.

A button says your account is not linked

Open the private link in the message, sign in, and press the button again.

The edit modal sends you to the inbox

The field is masked or sealed, so it can only be edited in the inbox.
