Slack Tutorial
Slack is a team communication tool that offers one-on-one messaging, private groups, persistent chat rooms, direct messaging as well as group chats organized by topic. Subscribe to a set of events for which you receive Userlike notifications in a dedicated Slack channel.
Read on for a step-by-step guide on how to connect Userlike to your Slack workspace. If you don’t have a Slack account yet, click the button below first.

Sharing conversation transcripts via Slack
If you want to share conversation transcripts with your team via Slack, you can do so right from the Message Center.
Your easiest option is to use the following chat command in a conversation. This will trigger a message in your Slack channel with a link to the conversation. If the current chat is still running, the message is sent once the chat ends.
$slack - Create Slack message with link to current conversation
To share several conversation transcripts via Slack at once, head to All conversations in your Message Center. Select the conversations you want to share, click the … icon above, then choose Add-ons > Create Slack message.
