The Slack app is available for Pro and Custom plans.
The Slack app adds a bot to your Slack workspace that can search your documentation and answer users’ questions. The bot responds to direct messages, @mentions, and to any questions in a channel specifically named #ask-ai. The bot’s name is @yourprojectname-assistant. So if your project name is Mintlify, the bot’s name is @mintlify-assistant. The Slack app can incur costs: either using your AI assistant credits or incurring overages.

​
Set up the Slack app

If your Slack Workspace Owner requires admin approval to install apps, ask them to approve the Mintlify Slack app before you add it.
  1. Navigate to the Add-ons page of your dashboard.
  2. Select Connect in the Slack Integration card.
  3. Follow the Slack prompts to add the app to your workspace.
  4. Test that the bot is working and responds when you:
  • Send a direct message to the bot.
  • Mention the bot in a channel.
  • Create an #ask-ai channel, add the bot, and ask a question.
