# Slack

> Connect your team's Slack so people can take part in motions from their DMs — without a Monnet login.

Connecting Slack lets people who aren't Monnet users take part in your motions straight from Slack. Monnet sends them a DM when a motion needs them, and their reply flows back into the motion automatically — so a teammate can contribute without ever opening Monnet.

## What connecting Slack gives you

* **Member sync** — every user in your connected Slack workspace can be brought into the Monnet workspace as a Slack-only member.
* **Motion links in DMs** — Monnet pings the right people in Slack when a motion needs their input, and their replies come back into the motion.
* **A path to full membership** — a Slack-only member who follows a motion link and signs up is promoted to a full Monnet member (see [Join from a Slack link](#join-from-a-slack-link)).

## Connect Slack

From your workspace, open **Settings → Integrations**. Under **Slack**, click **Connect Slack**. This redirects you to Slack's consent screen (OAuth); after you approve, you're brought back to Monnet.

</Frame>

Any workspace member can start the connection. Each Slack workspace can be linked to only one Monnet workspace at a time.

<Note>
  When you connect from settings, every Slack user in your team is granted Slack-DM access **by default**. You can revoke individuals later, or turn off auto-grant from the toggle described below.
</Note>

## Import and manage members

After connecting, manage who participates from **Manage Slack members**. Each Slack user appears in a table with three columns:

* **Slack user** — who they are in Slack.
* **Function** — defaults to their Slack title and is editable here; whatever you set overrides the value shown in the **Team** tab.
* **Access** — a per-user toggle. Turn it off to revoke a user — they lose Slack-DM access and disappear from member dropdowns.

Whether members start with access depends on the **auto-grant** setting:

* **Auto-grant on (default after connecting from settings):** everyone in the Slack workspace is granted by default; toggle off anyone you don't want.
* **Auto-grant off:** new Slack users are **not** granted automatically — you toggle access on per user before they can participate.

Use the **Auto-grant new Slack users** toggle to switch between the two. Changing it requires workspace admin/owner permissions. Save your changes when done.

<Note>
  Imported Slack users join as Slack-only **members**. The import flow controls access and function, not workspace roles — set roles (owner / admin / member) from the **Team** tab.
</Note>

## Join from a Slack link

When Monnet DMs a Slack-only member about a motion, the message includes a link. Following it:

1. Opens the motion in Monnet.
2. Prompts the person to sign up if they don't have an account yet.
3. On sign-up, promotes them from a Slack-only member to a full Monnet member of the workspace.

From then on they can use Monnet directly, in addition to Slack.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="This Slack workspace is already linked">
    Each Slack workspace can be connected to only one Monnet workspace at a time. If you see **"Slack workspace already linked"**, the Slack workspace is connected elsewhere — disconnect it from that Monnet workspace first, then reconnect here.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The connection failed or was cancelled">
    If you cancelled on Slack's consent screen, just click **Connect Slack** again. If the connection link expired or returned an error, start over from **Settings → Integrations** — Monnet generates a fresh link each time.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A Slack user has no email">
    Some Slack accounts don't expose an email. Those users are flagged in the members table and may need their email added in Slack before they can be granted access.
