Overview


Installation

A Fluint workspace admin must install the Olli app to your Slack workspace (*Only available for team license plans):

  1. Go to SettingsIntegrations in Fluint

  2. Find the Slack integration and click Install

  3. Authorize the Olli app for your Slack workspace

  4. Once installed, all workspace members can link their accounts


Linking Your Account

Before using Olli in Slack, individuals will need to link their Slack account to their Fluint account.
