Chatbase provides a quick and easy way to add an intelligent AI-powered chatbot to your Slack workspace. Integrating Chatbase into Slack enables your team to instantly leverage a wealth of AI capabilities right within your Slack workspace.
In just a few minutes, you can make a Chatbase chatbot available across your company’s Slack channels to improve communication, boost productivity, and enhance the employee experience. The chatbot will be able to understand natural language and respond to common queries, resolve issues, look up information, and supercharge your Slack with round-the-clock automated support
Here’s how to integrate a Chatbase chatbot into your Slack workspace:
Step 1: Access and Configure Your Chatbase Chatbot
These steps assume that you have already created a Chatbase account and that you have a Chatbase chatbot already available for use. If you haven't yet, create a free Chatbase account and build your first AI chatbot. For example, you can create a company FAQ chatbot to handle common employee questions or build a recruiting assistant to screen candidates and schedule interviews. Get your chatbot ready before moving to the integration.

Step 2: Locate the Slack Integration

2. After clicking on a chatbot, the chatbot preview page should come up, click on Connect at the top of the page and then the Integrations tab on the left side of the page. This will take you to a page with a list of integration options.
3. Click on Connect under the Slack card
4. Up next, you’ll be asked to authorize Chatbase to access your Slack account and workspace.
5. Scroll down and click on Allow.
5. If all goes well, you should get a message saying “Chatbase has been successfully added to your workspace.”
6. Click on Open Slack to launch your Slack workspace.
7. You’ll be prompted to sign into your Slack workspace or select from a list of Slack workspaces you are currently signed into. Click open beside the target workspace.
Step 3: Deploy Slack Bot
Once you’ve launched the Slack workspace that hosts your Chatbase chatbot, you can start setting up the chatbot as a Slack bot. To do this:
1. Open any channel on your Slack workspace, and type @chatbase followed by any question related to the purpose of your chatbot. This should trigger a prompt by Slack asking you to invite the chatbot to the channel or take no action.
2. Click on Invite Them. The chatbot will then be available in the channel to answer any questions you might have.
Step 4: Start Chatting!
That's it! Your Chatbase chatbot is now integrated and ready to elevate team communication in your Slack workspace.
Anytime you or any member of your team needs a question answered, just type @chatbase followed by your question, and your chatbot will respond.
Team members can direct questions to your intelligent bot in any channel or DM that has the bot. The chatbot provides helpful responses powered by conversational AI, giving your team access to an advanced virtual assistant 24/7.
Integrating Chatbase into Slack unlocks game-changing possibilities. Your employees gain a productivity-boosting bot that enriches the collaboration experience.
So go ahead, and give your new AI-powered team member a try! Intelligent automation is just a chat away.
