The Slack auto-join channel feature allows automatic synchronization of new public Slack channels with Dust based on predefined patterns. This removes the need for manual intervention each time a relevant channel is created.

​
How to Use

  1. Write to support@dust.tt to enable this feature on your workspace.
  2. Define Pattern: Set a pattern in the Dust Slack settings. Any new channel that matches this pattern will be automatically synchronized.
  3. Channel Creation: When a channel is created in Slack and it matches the predefined pattern, Dust’s bot automatically joins this channel.
  4. Data Aggregation: Once joined, the bot starts aggregating data from the channel for use within Dust.

​
Tips

  • Pattern Specificity: Ensure the pattern is specific to avoid unnecessary channel joins.
  • Check Permissions: Admin permissions in Slack may be required to set up and modify integration settings.

​
Example of Use

If you set a pattern like “support-*,” any new channel created, such as “support-query” or “support-feedback,” will be automatically added to Dust’s synchronized channels. This streamlines data aggregation without the need for manual setup each time a related channel is initiated.
