FAQs

Does UpWave get full access to my Slack channels?

No, UpWave has no mechanism to gain "real" access to your channel. UpWave will be given access to post messages to your channel but that's it!
You can revoke access at any time.

How can I revoke access?

In Slack there is a "Manage Apps" panel where all your authorized Apps are listed.
Here you can remove an entire App, or delete channel-specific configurations.

Where do I start?

First you need to sign up at www.upwave.io and create your account.
It's super simple and will guide you through account creation and all the way through setting up your first UpWave board.

Ground Rules:

1. You’ll need to enable slack integration for each board. That way you can keep updates separate and easier to track.

2. You need to be an admin of your UpWave account to set this up - Go to your Company Settings page to check.

How To Guide:

1. In Slack, create the channel where you want your UpWave board updates to posted. In this example, our slack channel is called “upwavesprint6″

2. In UpWave, go into the board you want to integrate with slack and hit the drop down menu. In this example, our board is called “Sprint 6″.

2. Go to “Integrations” in the drop down menu

3. Hit “add to slack”.

4. You’ll be asked to authorize access to Slack, just make sure to connect to the channel you made in Step 1 and you’re good to go.

5. You’re done!
