Decisions made in Slack, kept in Align
Send a message or thread to Align and it becomes a decision or a task, linked back to the conversation. Ask @Align what was decided and get an answer with sources, visible only to you.
What it does
| In Slack | What happens |
|---|---|
| Message menu → Send to Align | Turns any message or thread into a decision or a task in Align, with a link back to the thread. Align replies in the thread so everyone can see where it went. |
| @Align <question> | Answers from your meetings, decisions, docs and tasks, with sources. In a channel the answer is only visible to you. |
| DM Align | Same answers, as a normal direct message. |
| The Align app's Home tab | How to use it, whether your Align account is connected, and what you've sent to Align recently. |
| Send to Slack (from Align) | Post meeting notes, a decision or a plan from Align into a channel you pick. Nothing is posted without you choosing it. |
Install
- Sign in to Align (or create a free account).
- Open Settings → Integrations and choose Connect next to Slack.
- Pick your workspace and choose Allow.
- Invite Align to the channels you want it in with /invite @Align. Private channels are never read unless someone invites it.
What it can read, and why
| Permission | Why Align needs it |
|---|---|
| Public and private channels it's invited to (history, list) | To read the message or thread you send to Align, and to answer questions with the conversation as context. Only channels Align is a member of. |
| Join public channels | So "Send to Align" and "Send to Slack" work in a public channel without inviting the bot first. It never joins private channels on its own. |
| Mentions and direct messages | To answer when you @mention Align or DM it. |
| Member names and emails | To match a Slack person to their Align account, so an answer only shows what that person can already open in Align. |
| Send messages | To reply in the thread after a capture, answer questions, and post what you choose to send from Align. |
| Shortcuts | For the "Send to Align" item in the message menu. |
Align keeps a searchable copy of the channels it's a member of, so answers can cite them. It never sees DMs between people, and Align doesn't train AI models on your messages.
Remove it
- In Align: Settings → Integrations → Slack → Disconnect. This revokes Align's token right away.
- Or in Slack: Settings & administration → Manage apps → Align → Remove app.
- To delete what Align stored from Slack, disconnect and email hello@meet-align.com, and we'll delete it.
Frequently asked questions
Does it cost anything?
No. The Slack app is included on every Align plan, including Free.
Can my teammates see my answers?
No. When you @mention Align in a channel, the answer is shown only to you, and it only includes things you can already open in Align.
Does Align read every channel?
No. Only channels it's a member of. Private channels are off limits until someone invites it, and it never sees DMs between people.
Who do I contact for help?
