Slack

Overview

Easily start Genie tasks directly from Slack by mentioning Genie with @genie. Genie effortlessly integrates your Slack workspace with Cosine, allowing you to initiate tasks seamlessly from your existing workflow.

Configure

1. Navigate to the Integrations page in your Cosine team

2. Select Slack from available integrations

3. Click Enable to start the authorization process

   • Workspace Authorization: You'll need to authorize your Slack workspace. You have to be a workspace admin to enable permissions

   • Personal Account Linking: We strongly recommend linking your personal Slack account as well. This enables Genie tasks to be directly assigned to you.

NOTE: A Slack workspace can only be integrated with one Cosine team at a time.

How it works

Once your Slack workspace is successfully integrated:

• Mention Genie in any Slack channel Genie has been invited to by typing @genie followed by your request. Genie instantly creates a task based on your message.

• Thread context: If Genie is mentioned in an existing Slack thread, it will automatically gather the entire thread as context to create a richer task.

• Single message context: If Genie is mentioned in a standalone message (not part of a thread), Genie uses only that message as context.

Project Selection

• If your integrated Cosine team has multiple projects, Genie will prompt you to select the appropriate project when starting a new task.

• If your team has only one project, Genie automatically assigns tasks to it, ensuring a frictionless experience.
