"twitter:title": "Slack | Integrations | Minds" --- Minds September 8, 2026·Minds Team # **Slack | Integrations** Install Minds for Slack with the link below. It is not listed in the Slack Marketplace. You need your own Minds account and an existing Audience or Study. ## Availability Install Minds for Slack with the link below. It is not listed in the Slack Marketplace. You need your own Minds account and an existing Audience or Study.![Connect your own Minds account in the native Slack dialog](https://getminds.ai/_ipx/_/images/videos/integrations/slack/connect-minds.png) ## Install and connect A workspace administrator installs [Minds for Slack](https://slack.getminds.ai/slack/install) and invites **@Minds** to the intended channel. Mention **@Minds** with the question and the actual text to test, or choose **Connect to apps → Ask Minds** from a message's menu. Select **Connect Minds** and authorize your own Minds account. Installing the Slack app does not connect every member to the installer's Minds account. If the connection page says the service is temporarily unavailable, wait for the service issue to be resolved. Generating more links does not resolve a service outage. If it explicitly says the link expired, open a fresh connection prompt in Slack. ## Run and read research Choose **Ask an Audience**, select the exact Audience, and review the question and stimulus. Approve sharing the findings in the originating conversation, then select **Run question**. This uses your Minds account's research allowance. Each submission runs one question; review known multi-question plans in Minds. The result is delivered in a thread with completed-response coverage and an **Open Study** link. Responses come from synthetic Minds, not recruited human participants. Choose **Read a Study** to retrieve existing findings without starting new research. A link alone does not ensure its contents were supplied as stimulus; paste the text you want tested. Private Slack attachments are not imported. ## Sharing and data handling People who can read the Slack conversation can read the findings posted there. The **Open Study** link keeps the Study's existing Minds permissions: posting in Slack does not make the Study public. Confirm that the selected conversation is appropriate before submitting. The integration processes deliberate mentions or selected messages, workspace/user/channel identifiers, connection credentials, selected Audience or Study identifiers, and request/result state. It does not read channel history. Connection credentials and retained application records are encrypted in a dedicated database schema. Google Cloud Vertex AI prepares the request from your deliberate message and bounded names and identifiers of accessible Audiences or Studies. You review the proposed question before research starts. Channel history and research results are not sent to this preparation model. The submitted research itself is processed by Minds under its [privacy policy](https://getminds.ai/legal/dataprivacy), [subprocessor notice](https://getminds.ai/legal/subprocessors) and [terms](https://getminds.ai/legal/terms). ## Retention and disconnecting Connection links and authorization state expire after 10 minutes; unfinished forms expire after 30 minutes. Retained request/results and thread context expire after seven days. Expired records are removed by periodic cleanup. Connection credentials remain until disconnection, revocation or workspace uninstall, as applicable. Use **Disconnect** to remove your Minds connection and retained personal integration state. Uninstalling the app removes the workspace's retained integration state. These actions do not delete existing Minds Studies, Slack messages or provider-managed backups, and they do not cancel research already running in Minds. Contact the privacy address below for data-access or deletion requests involving those systems. ## Support For installation or usage help, email [hello@getminds.ai](https://getminds.ai/mailto:hello@getminds.ai). For data-access or deletion requests, email [privacy@getminds.ai](https://getminds.ai/mailto:privacy@getminds.ai). Include the affected step and approximate time; do not send passwords, access tokens, connection links or private research in the first message. You do not need another account to contact support. See the [integration overview](https://getminds.ai/guide/integrations) for other supported connections.
