Features of the Otter Slack Integration

  1. See rich previews of Otter conversation with link unfurls
    • When you paste a link to an Otter conversation in a Slack channel, the Otter Slack app will unfurl that link to show more information, including meeting information such as the title and duration, and the automatic summary for that conversation.
      Note: In order for the link to unfurl, you must have access to the conversation.


  2. Get notifications in Slack

    If you connect your Slack account to Otter, you will receive Otter notifications in Slack, for these following activities:

      • When someone requests access to a conversation. You can grant access directly in Slack with collaborator or viewer permissions.


      • When you are assigned an action item in Otter.

      • When you’re mentioned in a comment in Otter.

  1. Post to Slack

    • After connecting Slack to your Otter account, you will see a new “Post to Slack” button in the top right corner of every conversation you own.

    • To post to private Slack channels, please first add the Otter app to that channel.
