Lodol for Slack

Ask in Slack. Lodol does the work.

Mention @Lodol in any channel, or message it directly. It answers questions from your apps on the spot, and turns the jobs you keep repeating into workflows that run themselves.

It works as you, where it's asked

Lodol in Slack is the same Lodol: your account, your role and your workspace's rules.

  • It acts as youEach person connects their own Lodol account, once. It can do only what your role in Lodol allows.
  • You press RunAnything that sends or changes something waits for a person to press its button, unless your admins decide otherwise.
  • It reads only its own threadsIt hears a message when it's mentioned or messaged, then follows that thread. Teammates talking to each other are left alone.
  • It doesn't deleteDeleting is done in Lodol, where you can see what you're removing.

Getting started

Three steps to your first answer

On every plan, Free included.

  1. A Lodol admin, once

    Add Lodol to Slack

    In Lodol, open Settings, then Slack, and choose Add to Slack.

  2. Each person, the first time

    Connect your account

    Lodol shows you a Connect Lodol button that only you can see. Press it, allow, and go back to Slack. It's already working on what you asked.

  3. Anyone, any time

    Ask

    Invite @Lodol to a channel and mention it, or message it directly. Try “@Lodol what workflows do I have?”

Questions about Lodol for Slack

A Lodol admin opens Settings, then Slack, and chooses Add to Slack. After that, anyone can invite @Lodol to a channel or message it directly. The first time each person asks, they connect their own Lodol account with one button only they can see.

Not unless your admins allow it. Anything that sends or changes something comes back as a workflow with a Run or Turn on button, and nothing starts until someone presses it. Admins can let people run workflows straight from chat in Settings, under Slack.

Only the threads it's in. It hears a message when someone mentions @Lodol or messages it directly, and then keeps up with that thread. When teammates are talking to each other there, it stays out of it.

Yours. Each person connects their own Lodol account, so everything it looks up, builds or runs is done as them, with their role and their workspace's rules. It never acts through someone else's connection.

Yes, which is why it shows you a workflow before it runs, with a picture of every step. If something's off, say so in the thread ("make it 8:30 instead") and it changes the same workflow rather than starting a new one.

No. Lodol for Slack is on every plan, including Free. A workflow it builds counts runs like any other.

Yes. Connect each one you use. Lodol works out which workspace a message is for, asks with a button for each when it can't tell, and every reply says which workspace answered.

Ask @Lodol for your first automation.

Start free, add Lodol to Slack, and ask in a sentence. It builds the workflow, and you press Run.
