# Slack

*Updated 2026-10-20*

Connect Slack and every finished meeting can post a digest to a channel you
choose: title, summary, action items as a tick-list, and a link to the full
meeting. Edit the meeting in meaty afterwards and the posted digest quietly
updates itself — no reposts, no duplicates.

## Connect

1. Open **Integrations** in meaty and click the **Slack** tile, then
   **Connect Slack**.
2. You land on Slack's own consent screen. Pick your workspace (top right)
   and — on the same screen — **the channel digests should post to**.
3. Click **Allow**. You're back in meaty, connected, done.

That's the whole setup: two decisions, both made on Slack's page. There is
no token to paste and no `/invite` step.

## What a digest contains

- The meeting title, date and duration
- The summary, formatted for Slack
- Action items as ☐ / ☑ lines with owners and due dates
- An **Open in meaty.me** link when the meeting has a share link

The raw transcript never posts to Slack on purpose — a channel is a feed,
not an archive. The link carries people to the full meeting.

## Automatic or manual

- **Auto-sync** (the toggle on the Slack card): every meeting posts its
  digest the moment notes are ready.
- **Manual**: any meeting → **Share → Slack → Send**. The digest posts once,
  on your say-so.

Use **Send test** on the card any time — it posts a clearly-labelled sample
so you can see the shape before a real meeting does.

## Edits follow

Rename a speaker, speak a correction, re-tag the meeting — the digest
already in your channel **edits itself in place** within a few seconds. One meeting,
one message, always current.

## Changing the channel

Click **change channel** on the Slack card. It simply runs the same consent
again — pick the new channel on Slack's screen. Your settings and delivery
history stay.

## Private channels

You can pick a private channel during consent. Digests arrive there too, with
one limit: messages delivered into private channels can't be edited later, so
a subsequent meeting edit is skipped rather than posted twice.

## Disconnecting

The unplug icon on the Slack card disconnects and revokes meaty's access.
Digests already posted stay in your channel. You can also remove meaty from
Slack's side under your workspace's **Apps**.
