This would authorise the Mesh integration to be added to your Slack workspace, for you and your team members to start using it. 

Using the Mesh Slack-app (for employees)

After a Mesh admin has connected your Slack workspace to Mesh, you would be able to add the slack-app and use it with no issues.

Step 1: Launch the mobile or laptop app for Slack on your device

You can also start using the Mesh app using the web browser version of Slack. Adding the Mesh app once on any device would suffice for you to reap the benefits across devices.

Step 2: Click on ‘+ Add apps’ button

This should open a list of your top apps and apps added to your Slack workspace.

Step 3: Search for or navigate to the Mesh Slack-app and click on it to effortlessly perform any of the available actions

The Mesh app has been added to your frequent apps list on Slack. Now, you can easily view personal and team updates and perform various actions directly within Slack. To explore available actions, simply type '/Mesh help' and get started.

Customising notification settings for Slack

Step 1: Head back to your Mesh settings panel and click on Notifications

Ensure that notifications for 'Third party chat applications' are enabled. 

Step 2: From the section titled ‘What you get notified about’ enable or disable notifications based on your preferences

You can customise module-specific or platform wide-notifications. Additionally, a Mesh admin can also choose to set any settings as default settings for their organisation and for all its members.
