Using the Slack Integration

Once your Slack integration is enabled, your team can interact with Learn Amp directly from Slack. This guide covers how to use slash commands and set up Activity Feeds to keep your team informed about learning activity.

Before using slash commands, each user needs to link their Slack and Learn Amp accounts:

1. Open Slack and go to any channel or direct message

2. Type /la connect and press Enter

3. Follow the prompts to verify your connection

Once connected, you'll be able to use all personalised commands like viewing your tasks and assigned learning.

Tip: If you see "User not found" when using commands, run /la connect first.

Type /la or /learnamp on its own to get quick links to:

• Your Assigned Learning

• Your Activity Dashboard

Type /la help to see a list of all available commands and what they do.

To search the Learn Amp library:

For example: /la search leadership skills

This returns matching Items and Learnlists from your library. You can view details or share results with colleagues directly from Slack.

Note: Task commands show Items, Learnlists, Quizzes, and Channels only. Surveys and 1-1s won't appear in these lists.

If you have permission to create Items, you can add content directly from Slack:

For example: /la add https://example.com/great-article

Learn Amp will scrape the URL and create a new Item. You'll receive a link to complete the Item's details (title, description, skills, etc.).

If the URL already exists in your library, you'll be notified instead of creating a duplicate.

Activity Feeds automatically post Learn Amp updates to your Slack channels. Only Owners and Admins can configure these.

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Slack in Learn Amp

2. Scroll to the Activity Feed section

3. Click Add new feed

Step 1: Choose the audience

Select whose activity should be posted:

• Everyone – Activity from all users in your company

• Specific team – Activity only from members of a selected team

Step 2: Choose what to post

Select which types of updates to include:

Step 3: Choose the channel

Select which Slack channel should receive the updates.

Step 4: Save

Click Save to activate the feed. Updates will start posting immediately.

You can create multiple feeds for different teams or channels. Each feed can have different notification preferences.

To edit or delete a feed:

1. Go to the Slack integration page

2. Find the feed in the Activity Feed section

3. Click the edit or delete icon

Q: Can I use commands in private channels?
Yes. Slash commands work in any channel or direct message where you can type.

The /la tasks command only shows Items, Learnlists, Quizzes, and Channels. Surveys, 1-1s, and other content types aren't included.

Q: Can Activity Feeds post to private channels?
Yes, as long as the Learn Amp bot has access to the channel.

Q: How do I stop receiving Activity Feed notifications?
Ask your Learn Amp Admin to edit or delete the relevant Activity Feed configuration.
