Haystack is the intranet platform that centralizes your company's internal communication. The Haystack app brings your intranet into Slack, so people can find answers, share news and plan events without leaving the conversation.Ask Slackbot about Haystack
Connect Haystack to Slackbot and ask questions in plain language. Slackbot searches your Haystack workspace and answers with links back to the source.
- Haystack AI Search: find people, teams, posts, events, knowledge pages, glossary terms, files and links. Try "What's our PTO policy?" or "Who leads the design team?"
- Haystack Get Entity: open the full content of a page, post or event from your search results.Create Haystack content from Slackbot
Turn a Slack conversation into Haystack content. Slackbot asks for your permission before it runs a Haystack tool, and you can review content before it is posted.
- Haystack Create Page: save notes or a write-up as a private knowledge page.
- Haystack Draft Post: draft a post in one of your Haystack groups without notifying anyone.
- Haystack Publish Post: publish a post to a group when you explicitly ask. Publishing can notify group members.
- Haystack Create Draft Event: draft an event in a group, such as a team offsite or a tech talk.
- Haystack Create Published Event: publish an event to a group when you explicitly ask.
- Haystack List Groups for Posts and List Groups for Events: find the groups you can post to or create events in.Keep everyone in the loop
- Auto-post Haystack group updates and news to the Slack channels of your choice.
- Share event registration pages in Slack so everyone has a chance to RSVP.
- Brand automated Slack posts with your Haystack workspace's visual assets.Secure by design
Each person signs in with their own Haystack account through OAuth, and every request uses their existing Haystack permissions. People only see and change what they already can in Haystack. Haystack doesn't use your content to train AI models, and Slack admins can control which Haystack tools are available.Getting started
A Haystack workspace admin who is also a Slack admin or workspace owner installs the app. Then open Slackbot, select Apps, add Haystack and sign in. Depending on your Haystack plan, the Slackbot connection may require a license add-on. Contact your Haystack Customer Success Manager or support@haystackteam.com.
