Welcome to the Channels page, where you can edit different email templates, send test emails, integrate Slack, and more.

​
Email

Under the Email tab, you can edit every email template e.g. Member Confirmation, Introduction, Opt-In / Opt-Out, etc.
Pro Tip: You can send test emails to yourself before applying your changes to communication with community members.

​
Slack

Under the Slack tab, you can instead integrate Intros AI via Slack to automate introductions between members of your Slack community.
1

Navigate to the Channels Tab

2

Connect Your Slack

Select “Connect your Slack”
You have 1 of 2 options: Email or Slack, not both.
3

Add Members

Head to Members for detailed information on how to add members to your Slack community.
Note: After connecting your Slack account, members will automatically appear in the “Pending” section of the Members page. From there, you can directly invite them to join (step 5).We recommend having your members fill out their data using our native onboarding form rather than uploading a CSV. This helps avoid duplicate entries, since Slack requires email addresses to match exactly in order to sync properly. However, to avoid this, you can export a CSV directly from Slack (more information below).
4

Customize Slack Messages

Similar to email, you can also further customize your Slack messages.
Pro Tip: Send yourself a test welcome message to check that it’s working properly.
5

Send Welcome Message

This is how your members will receive the welcome message on Slack. It will automatically enter the name of the person receiving the message.

​
Platform Integration with Zapier

  • Question: “How do I integrate Zapier?”
    • Answer: “Please navigate to Members and under ‘Adding Members through Zapier,’ you will find detailed instructions on integrating Zapier. You’ll need to create a Zap, set up the Trigger and Action, and then test and activate it.”
  • Question: “When adding a member through Zapier, are they automatically activated on the platform, or do we need to manually activate them in Intros AI?”
    • Answer: “In Intros AI, you can configure Club Settings to automatically activate newly added members from Zapier.”
  • Question: “Is it possible to upload an image during the ‘Create Member’ step in Zapier? I don’t see a field for it in the Intros AI ‘Create Member’ action.”
    • Answer: “Currently, there’s no option to upload images directly to Intros AI via Zapier. You can include an image URL, but it will display as a link rather than an actual image. Members will need to log into the platform to manually upload their headshots.”
  • Question: “What happens if my Zap fails?”
    • Answer: “If a Zap fails in Zapier, you can try these steps:
      1. Use the Troubleshoot tab: In the Zap editor, click the Zap runs icon, then click the arrow next to the errored Zap run. Click ‘Go to step,’ then click the Troubleshoot tab. Zapier will use AI to provide troubleshooting instructions.
      2. Check the trigger app account connection: In the Zap editor, click the Trigger step, then click the Account tab. Ensure the correct app account is connected to Zapier. If the connection has expired, reconnect the app account.
      3. Check the trigger options: In the Trigger tab, make sure all required fields are filled out. Some triggers require items to be created recently in the trigger app.
      4. Replay the Zap run: In the Zap editor, click the Zap runs icon, then select one or more Zap runs. Click ‘Replay X runs,’ then select ‘Errored steps.’ A dialog box will appear, and you can click ‘Replay errored steps.’”
