At a glance
Slack is where the work already gets talked about. Connect it and Cogno reads what your team is already saying — turning messages into proposed tasks you accept with a glance, and posting notifications back into Slack so no one changes tools. You don’t file anything; Cogno does.
Before you start
- You can open Settings in the target workspace. Slack setup is not owner-only — any member who reaches Settings can connect it.
- You can install apps in the Slack workspace you want to connect (or someone who can is available to approve it).
- Use a Slack workspace that represents the team, not a personal one, so the members Cogno maps are the people you work with.
Connect Slack in Cogno
1
Open the Slack integration
Open Settings → Integrations in the target workspace and select Slack.
2
Start the connection
Click Connect Slack. Cogno opens Slack’s authorization screen in a new window.
3
Approve in Slack
Review what Cogno may access and approve. Slack returns you to Cogno.
4
Confirm it connected
The Slack page now shows a Connection section with your Slack team’s name. Cogno syncs your Slack members in the background so you can map them next. It does not send workspace invitation DMs through Slack.
The Slack integration before connecting: one click on Connect Slack starts the OAuth flow.
Connecting is a single OAuth step — there is no webhook URL, setting ID, or token to copy by hand. Cogno holds the connection for you and refreshes access automatically.
What Cogno does with Slack
Once connected, Slack becomes an event source: your messages flow into the loop and Cogno acts on them. Three things happen.
The next section covers member mapping.
Map Slack users to members
Cogno links each Slack user to a workspace member so that everything it reads from Slack is attributed to the right person.1
Open User Mappings
On the Slack page, find the User Mappings section.
2
Sync users from Slack
Click Sync Users to pull the current member list from Slack. Bots and deactivated accounts are skipped.
3
Map each person
For each Slack user, click Map user and choose the matching Cogno member. To change or remove a link later, use Change member or Unmap user.
The workspace-data section currently renders its labels in Japanese (ワークスペースデータ) regardless of your language setting. The buttons still do what this page describes.
Sync workspace data
The ワークスペースデータ (workspace data) section pulls your Slack channel list so Cogno has the shape of your workspace. Click データを同期 (sync data) to refresh it; Cogno shows the last sync time with channel and message counts.Disconnect Slack
1
Open the Disconnect section
On the Slack page, scroll to Disconnect.
