Setting up Kudos on Slack

Step 1: Integrate with Slack

Navigate to Account-> Integrations -> Slack.

You'll be directed to an OAuth verification page. Review the details and click Allow to proceed.

You are now integrated with Slack, and employee details will be mapped automatically.

Step 2: Import Employees (Optional)

Step 3: Connect Kudos on Slack

From the Slack integration page, click ON the toggle "Kudos on Slack".

Assuming you have already imported all employees from your Slack workspace into ThriveSparrow, you will be asked to either Create a new channel or Use an existing channel.

Create a New Channel:

Select the button to create a new Slack channel for Kudos and add a channel name.

You'll again have two choices:

• Add All Members to the Channel: Select this if you want to include all your Slack members in the channel. Configure the import settings for Slack, and click Save Settings to finalize.
• Add Only Selected Members to the Channel: Choose this if you prefer to select specific members to include in the channel. Configure the import settings for Slack, and click Save Settings to complete the setup.

Use an existing channel:

You will be prompted to select any existing public channel from your Slack workspace. Select a channel and click on Save Settings to proceed.

Can I still connect Kudos on Slack without importing any employees?

Now, on to the steps.

In case you have not already imported your employees from Slack, when you try to toggle ON Kudos on Slack, you will be prompted to Import Employees as per the previously described methods in order to continue.

If you select Import all employees, you will be able to select any kudos channel and continue using Kudos on Slack.

In case you chose to skip the import process altogether, then you will still be able to connect Kudos on Slack; however, only those employees that exist across both workspaces will be able to access kudos functionality like giving kudos points, receiving points, etc.

Reconnecting Slack with ThriveSparrow

In the event that you need to reconnect Slack with ThriveSparrow, you can simply click on Connect and authenticate your admin account to integrate again.

That's it! You've successfully imported data and set up Kudos on Slack, making it easy to appreciate your team members right within your Slack channels. Should you need any help, don't hesitate to contact our support team. Happy thriving!
