Add Pliris Bot to Slack

Install Pliris Bot in your Slack workspace, then DM it or @mention it to check your catalog, edit setlists, and build sets.

Add Pliris Bot to your Slack workspace and you can ask about your songs and setlists, or build a set, without leaving the place your band already talks. DM the app, or @mention it in a channel.

Pliris Bot recognizes you by your Slack email, so use the same email in Slack as your Pliris login. For everything it can do, see Pliris Bot: what it is and what it can do.

Before you start

  • Your plan includes Pliris Bot: a paid Pliris subscription, a trial, or a current Certified Playback Engineer Guest Pass.
  • An account admin has switched on Pliris Bot for your band under Settings → Beta features.
  • Enable Pliris Bot is on and your mobile number is saved on Settings → Pliris Bot. See Turn on Pliris Bot.
  • You're allowed to add apps to your Slack workspace. If you aren't, ask a Slack workspace admin to do steps 1–3.

Add Pliris Bot to your workspace

You only need to do this once per Slack workspace. If someone in your workspace has already added Pliris Bot, skip to the next section.

  1. In the web app, go to Settings → Pliris Bot and open the Slack tab.
  2. Click Add to Slack. Slack opens in a new tab.
  3. Choose your workspace and click Allow.

Pliris Bot asks Slack for permission to read messages you send it directly, see when it's @mentioned, post replies, and look up the email on your Slack profile so it can match you to your Pliris account.

Start chatting

  1. In Slack, find Pliris under Apps in the sidebar, or search for it.
  2. Send it a direct message, such as "What setlists do I have?"

The first time, Pliris Bot matches your Slack email to your Pliris account and links them. Back on the Slack tab in Settings, the status changes to Connected — message @Pliris in Slack.

You can also @mention Pliris Bot in a channel it's been added to:

@Pliris what key is Ghost Signal in?

Heads up: When you @mention Pliris Bot in a channel, its reply is posted in that channel, so everyone there can read answers about your catalog. Use a direct message for anything you'd rather keep to yourself.

Your bandmates can use the same Slack install. Each person gets answers from their own Pliris account and permissions.

If your Slack email is different from your Pliris email

If Pliris Bot replies that it couldn't match your Slack account to a Pliris user, link them with a one-time code:

  1. Go to Settings → Pliris Bot and open the Telegram tab. The link code works for both Slack and Telegram.

  2. Click Connect Telegram. A code appears, such as link ABCD2345.

  3. Within 15 minutes, send Pliris Bot a direct message in Slack with that exact text:

    link ABCD2345

Pliris Bot replies Connected and you're linked. You don't need to finish anything in Telegram.

You can also change the email on your Slack profile to match your Pliris login, then message Pliris Bot again.

Disconnect Slack

  • Send STOP to Pliris Bot in Slack, or
  • Click Disconnect on the Slack tab in Settings → Pliris Bot.

Either one unlinks your Slack account from Pliris. If your Slack email matches your Pliris email, messaging Pliris Bot again links you again.

Disconnecting unlinks only you. To remove Pliris Bot from the whole workspace, a Slack workspace admin removes the app in Slack's app management settings.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add Pliris Bot to Slack?

Go to Settings → Pliris Bot, open the Slack tab, click Add to Slack, pick your workspace, and click Allow. Then DM the Pliris app in Slack.

Why doesn't the Slack tab show an Add to Slack button?

The tab only shows Add to Slack after Enable Pliris Bot is switched on and saved at the top of Settings → Pliris Bot. Switch it on, enter your mobile number, click Save, and open the Slack tab again.

Pliris Bot says it couldn't match my Slack account. What do I do?

Your Slack email is different from your Pliris login email. Get a code from Connect Telegram on the Telegram tab of Settings → Pliris Bot, then send link followed by the code to Pliris Bot in Slack within 15 minutes.

The Slack tab says "Not connected yet" after I installed the app. Is something wrong?

No. Installing adds Pliris Bot to the workspace; your own account links the first time you message it. Send Pliris Bot a direct message in Slack and the status changes to Connected.

Do my bandmates each need to add Pliris Bot to Slack?

No. One install covers the whole workspace. Each bandmate who has Pliris Bot on their own Pliris account just messages the app, and gets answers from their own account.

Can other people in a Slack channel see what Pliris Bot tells me?

Yes, if you @mention it in that channel: the reply is posted in the channel. Direct messages to Pliris Bot are private.

Can I use Pliris Bot in more than one Slack workspace?

Pliris Bot can be installed in any number of workspaces, but your Pliris account links to one Slack workspace at a time. Linking from a second workspace moves the link there.

How do I stop Pliris Bot in Slack?

Send STOP to Pliris Bot in Slack, or click Disconnect on the Slack tab in Settings → Pliris Bot.
