Getting Started

Getting Started

Our philosophy is to meet users where they are. That includes you, the Slack community admin! No, you don't have to leave Slack and learn a new platform in order to work with Tightknit. You can manage your community entirely from within Slack!

To get started, click on Tightknit under the Apps section in the Slack sidebar, or search "Tightknit" in the search bar.

App Home

Welcome to the Tightknit app Home! This is where you can manage and configure everything related to your Tightknit community. The app home is divided into sections called "modules". Each module has different features and settings.

Don't Get Lost!
Notice that there are three tabs at the top of this screen: Home, Messages, and About. If you ever need to return to these settings, click on the Tightknit app and make sure you've selected the Home tab.

Quick actions

Once you're a Tightknit power user 💪, check out the Quick Actions menu at the top of App Home. This menu lets you get to important actions faster (and it is searchable)!
