Encountered an issue while using the elvex Slack app? We may have an answer for you below, if not feel free to contact support.

My assistant is not appearing in Slack

If your assistant doesn't appear in the /elvex list command:

  1. Verify the assistant is not set to "Disabled" in Slack Settings

  2. Check that you have the correct permissions to use the assistant

  3. Ensure the Elvex Slack app is properly installed in your workspace

See our help article on permissions for more information.

I'm having permission errors

If users receive permission errors:

  1. For "Match elvex permissions" setting, verify:

    • The user has an Elvex account

    • The user has permission to use the assistant in Elvex

    • The user's Slack email matches their Elvex email

  2. For "All Slack users" setting, verify:

    • The assistant is set to Public visibility in Elvex

    • The user is a member of your Slack workspace (not a guest)

My assistant isn't working in Shared Channels

If the assistant doesn't work in shared channels:

  1. Verify "Allow Shared Channels" is enabled

  2. Check that the appropriate permission model is selected

Does elvex show cited datasources in Slack?

No, not at this time, but this is something we may revisit in the future!
