Slack is where most operations teams already live. Eluu colleagues fit right in. Mention them, talk to them in threads, give them tasks the way you would a teammate. You have two options for how a colleague shows up in your Slack. ## `@Eluu` — the platform bot The fastest path. Install the Eluu app once for your Slack workspace, and `@Eluu` is in every channel you map it to. Mention it, the right colleague replies based on the channel mapping you've set. This is right for teams getting started, or any team where one branded Eluu presence is fine. → [Set up @Eluu](/slack/eluu-bot) ## Custom Slack apps — your colleagues, your branding When you want each colleague to show up under their own name, build a custom Slack app per colleague. Now `@Sofia` mentions Sofia. `@Max` mentions Max. They're separate Slack apps, with separate icons, and they coexist in your workspace. This is right for teams where colleagues will be visible to a lot of people, where branding matters, or where different colleagues should appear in different parts of the org. It takes about ten minutes per colleague. Eluu provides the manifest and the steps. → [Set up a custom app](/slack/custom-app) ## What works regardless Whichever route you pick, these all work the same way: * **Channel restrictions** — control which channels a colleague can answer in. See [channel restrictions](/slack/channel-restrictions). * **User mapping** — link Slack users to their Eluu accounts so colleagues know who they're talking to. See [user mapping](/slack/user-mapping). * **Threading** — every conversation in a thread maps to a single Eluu session. Pick up later, the colleague remembers. * **DMs** — message a colleague directly, same as a teammate. * **Files** — drop a file in a Slack message to a colleague, they read it. ## Where to next The fastest setup. Branded colleagues in Slack.
