Feature: Slack Integration v3
- Basic & Business plans
- Supports org-wide installs
- Granular Bot Permissions (GBP)
- Sunsetting former versions of the integration by end of March 2021

Slack v3 is our latest integration application that supports Slack’s most recent platform built for integrations. Slack v3 uses Granular Bot Permissions (“GBP”), and it allows our application to support Org-Wide App Installs.
Slack v3 uses the preferred integration path with Slack. As Slack’s platform has evolved over time, they have come out with different methods for integrations. Roughly speaking, we can refer to the various integrations paths in these buckets:
- Slack v1: Webhooks
- Slack v2: Slack Workspace App (Classic Slack App on Enterprise)
- Slack v3: Slack GBP
What do you need to do if you're on an earlier version of the integration?
- Uninstall the app
- Re-install the app

We now expose a ‘Delete user’ action in addition to ‘Export user’ and the existing ‘Deactivate user’ function. Deleted users will not show up under deactivated users, and if they come back (after being invited by admin again) - they start from scratch in terms of reputation and attributed content.
Feature Functionality: Articles

Feature: User Groups
When questions arise under that group's area of expertise, pinging each user individually or picking and choosing who might be the best option can be cumbersome. We've introduced User Groups as a method to allow you to reach out to entire groups of users with a single name, rather than individually pinging them all.
- Business plans only
- Notify an entire group of people at once of new content
- Ask a group of experts most likely to know the answers
