Installing for your workspace
Review installation, initial channels, automatic joining and workspace administration.
Before installation
You need permission to add apps to your Slack workspace. If Slack requires an administrator's approval, complete that approval before setup can finish.
Start at app.tryopentag.com and sign in with Slack. Choose the intended workspace, review the requested permissions, and complete the setup shown for that workspace.
What setup changes
Setup connects the workspace, lets you choose initial channels and a plan, and brings OpenTag into Slack. Read the checkout terms before confirming a subscription trial. Plans explains the difference between a free credit grant and a trial on a paid plan.
Once setup is complete, newly created internal public channels are joined automatically by default. Review automatic joining and exclusions in Slack settings before a wider rollout.
What OpenTag can reach
| Source | Access |
|---|---|
| Joined channels | Available messages, threads and files, including earlier history |
| Private channels | Requires an invitation; use of their context is restricted by the conversation |
| Slack Connect channels | Requires an invitation; answers in the room have restricted company context |
| DMs between other people | Not available through the bot installation |
| Connected apps | Governed by the account's sharing settings and tool permissions |
See Channels and access and How connections work for the boundaries.
Roll out with a real job
Choose a working channel, ask OpenTag for a small piece of work, and check its sources. Review the wiki and connection settings before extending access to more channels and apps.
Teammates in an already configured workspace can start using OpenTag without repeating workspace setup. They may need to sign in or connect an account for work that requires their personal access.
Admin controls
Admins manage Slack reply permissions, automatic joining and billing. Routine ownership and integration sharing have their own controls. Being an admin does not turn every personal connection or private conversation into shared data.
