Users can connect their Read accounts with Slack in order to unlock powerful features to boost productivity and make their Read content available through Slack. This page provides an overview of these features, with links out to other pages for more details on how to make use of them. These features are available to all Read users, regardless of whether you're on a free or paid plan.
Read’s integration with Slack consists of two distinct features, and you can use (or not use) each one independently of the other. You can find and enable these by going to the Apps & Integrations page:
Note that for all of these integrations, you must select a single Slack workspace to connect.
Push to Slack
The Push to Slack integration allows users to automatically or manually distribute their meeting notes to Slack. This can be enabled either for just the individual user (under Your Integrations > Messaging > Push to Slack) or for all users within the same Read Workspace (under Workspace > Push to Slack). The Workspace option is only available if you have created a Read Workspace and are the owner of it. See these pages for more details:
- Integrations | Enabling Push to Slack for your account
- Integrations | Enabling Push to Slack for your Workspace
Users can then choose whether to enable automatic distribution for their own meetings using the “Send Meeting Recap” setting (under Account Settings > Reporting > Distribution). Users can also manually distribute meeting notes done by clicking on the “post to Slack” button at the top right of a meeting report. This article describes the process in more detail:
Slack Sync to Read
The Slack Sync to Read integration allows users to receive summary reports based on the conversations occurring in their Slack workspace. You can enable this integration by connecting Slack under Your Integrations > Productivity > Slack Sync to Read.
After you connect, Read will start generating "topic reports", which contain summaries, key questions, and actions items based on your conversations in Slack. These reports are produced by processing all of the messages in your Slack workspace that you have access to, and then using AI to automatically organized the information into "topics" based on the content.
Topic reports appear on the Reports page alongside your meeting reports. It may take up to an hour after first connecting Slack in order to receive a topic report, and after that, they get updated daily. Topic reports generated from Slack are denoted with a Slack icon on the left side. You can use the drop down menu at the top left to filter between topic reports, meeting reports, or all reports:
