Slack commands

Use our shortcuts in Slack to see your Multitudes insights

You don't need to log into the app to see Multitudes insights on demand – you can use our Slack slash "/" commands anytime to see your latest insights and get tips on actions you could take.

When you use our Slack commands to explore your insights, we will share your data, flag anything that looks concerning, suggest contributing factors, and give ideas for actions to take (e.g., questions to ask the team for more context). The results also include deep links into specific charts and views around the app, for you to dive deeper into the details.

See image below for example insights, and read on for a list of Slack commands available.

Slack commands available for Multitudes

Note that you can type these commands in any channel, public or private.

However, if you use them in a private channel that the Multitudes app hasn't been added to, the app won't be able to send you any insights. To change that, you can add the app to the channel by typing @multitudes in the channel, then hit enter, and click the "Add them" button from Slack.

The Multitudes app also can't join your DMs. If you use these commands in a DM (e.g., to a colleague), the Multitudes app will respond with a DM directly to you from the app with the response.
