Atlas in Slack

Most of what a team notices during the day never gets written down, because writing it down means stopping. Atlas in Slack puts Atlas in the channel your team already uses: staff ask it questions, report a problem in a sentence, and get answers and follow-up where they are. It only sees channels it is invited to, never direct messages.

An administrator installs it once into your organization's own Slack workspace.

Connect your workspace​

  1. Go to Settings → Atlas AI and find the Atlas in Slack card. Click Add to Slack.
  2. Slack opens and asks you to choose the workspace and approve the app. Approve it.
  3. Back in Ready Practice, the card shows Connected. Invite Atlas to a channel in Slack the way you would invite a colleague, and it is ready.
Patient data in Slack is your decision

The card includes a switch for whether patient information may appear in Slack answers. It is off by default. Turn it on only if your Slack workspace is covered by your privacy policies; with it off, Atlas answers operational questions and keeps health details in the platform.

What your team can do there​

Everything the Atlas in Slack page describes: ask about the schedule, a client's balance or an open task, report a bug or a wrong price and have it tracked, and receive what Atlas notices, such as unbilled visits or a lapsing membership, in a channel you choose.

Ask Atlas

Say "connect us to Slack" in the platform and Atlas hands you the install link and checks the connection afterwards.

Next steps​

  • Pick the channel Atlas posts in: tell Atlas "post your reports in #front-desk" and approve the card.
  • Turn on watches: task automations send what Atlas finds to that channel on a schedule.
