The Slack app is available for [Pro and Enterprise plans](https://mintlify.com/pricing?ref=slack-app).

The Slack app adds a bot to your Slack workspace that searches your documentation to answer users' questions. The bot responds to direct messages, @mentions, and to any questions in a channel specifically named `#ask-ai`.

## Setting up the Slack app
14+
15+
<Note>
16+
If your Slack Workspace Owner requires admin approval to install apps, ask them to approve the Mintlify Slack app before you add it.
17+
</Note>

1. Navigate to the [Integrations](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/organization/integrations) page of your dashboard.
20+
2. Select **Connect** in the Slack integration card.
21+
3. Follow the Slack prompts to add the app to your workspace.
22+
4. Test that the bot is working and responds when you:
23+
- Send a direct message to the Mintlify app.
24+
- Mention the bot with `@mintlify` in a channel.
25+
- Create an `#ask-ai` channel, add the bot, and ask a question.
