Sharing to Private Channels
To share summaries to private channels, you need to invite the SprintPulse bot to those channels first.
Step 1: Find the SprintPulse app
In Slack, look for SprintPulse in the Apps section of your sidebar. If you don't see it, click Add apps and search for "SprintPulse".
Step 2: Invite to private channel
Open the private channel you want to share to, then either:
- Type
/invite @SprintPulse - Or click the channel name → Integrations → Add apps
Once invited, the private channel will appear in the channel list when sharing summaries.
