In addition to collaborating in Superhuman Docs every day, your team may also stay connected in Slack. The Slack Pack lets you bring these two amazing tools together to make your team's workflow even more cohesive (and fun).

Set up the Slack Pack

To use the Slack Pack, you’ll first have to add it to your doc. Just follow the steps below to do so:

1. Click the Insert & explore button in the upper-right corner of a doc, then choose Packs

2. Type "Slack" in the search bar

3. Select Slack and click Add to doc

That's it - the Slack Pack is now installed. To start putting it to use, check out the following section.

Put the Slack Pack to use

Once you’ve installed the Slack Pack, you’re ready to start using any of its many building blocks. To see what this Pack has to offer, head to the Pack page by following these steps:

1. Click the Insert & explore button in the upper-right corner of your doc

2. Select the Packs tab

3. Under Installed Packs, select Slack

4. Scroll through the Building blocks tab to see all the ways you can start using the Pack

You’ll see templates, tables, buttons, formulas, and more. Click and drag any of these building blocks into your doc.

If this is your first time connecting to the Slack Pack, you'll be prompted to sign in to your Slack account. And if you need a refresher on connecting to Pack accounts, check out this article.

Examples, tips, and tricks

You can do a lot with Slack and Docs - import Slack messages (and all their info) into Docs, send messages from a doc, automate reminders for your team, and more

In this section, we’ll introduce some common applications for the Slack Pack. But you can check out the guide here for all the Slack bells and whistles.
 

Pull a Slack message into a table in Superhuman Docs

With the Message column building block, you can get all the important info about a given Slack message with only the URL. You can even create a table with whichever message attributes you need.

1. Change the column type to a Slack Message column.

2. Copy the URL from a Slack message by clicking the three-dot menu on any channel.

3. Paste the link into the column. It will automatically convert to a more detailed reference.

4. Once you have your message in a table, you can extract any of its information by hovering over the message, then clicking the Add button next to the information you want to create a column for.

Alternatively, you can paste the link into the canvas of a doc to get a clickable card that visualizes the message.
 

Send Slack messages

Perhaps the most common use case of the Slack Pack is sending Slack messages right from your doc. You can create buttons that allow you to manually send messages. And even better - you can set up automations that automatically send messages at certain times or when certain criteria are met 😎 Learn all about sending Slack messages via Superhuman Docs here.
 

See all users in your Slack workspace

Maybe you’re in IT and want to see a table of all users in your Slack workspace. No problem - you can easily pull this into your doc. Just type /users into a blank line of your doc, and select the Users table from the dropdown. You can then choose which Slack account to use to pull this data, as well as make other adjustments to the sync table. Then hit Sync now to fill your table.
