Installing Ezra
Add Ezra to your Slack workspace in under two minutes. No code required, no IT ticket needed.
Before you start
You'll need three things:
- Slack workspace admin access (or someone who can approve apps)
- An affiliate platform account (Impact, Everflow, Tune, or Trcker)
- Your platform API key (Ezra walks you through finding it)
Step 1: Start the install
Go to textezra.com/start and click "Add to Slack". You'll be redirected to Slack's OAuth screen.
Step 2: Approve permissions
Ezra requests:
- Send messages as Ezra
- Read messages in channels it's invited to
- Access your workspace profile
It does not request:
- Admin access
- Ability to read all channels
- Access to private DMs with other people
Step 3: Check Slack
After approving, you'll land on textezra.com/start/success. Look for a DM from Ezra in Slack — it's already waiting.
Ezra will ask you which platform you use, then walk you through connecting your API key.
What happens next
Ezra asks three things:
- Which platform — Impact, Everflow, Tune, or Trcker
- Your API key — with instructions for where to find it
- Morning briefings — whether you want them enabled
After connecting, Ezra pulls a quick snapshot of your program and tells you what it sees.
Troubleshooting
- "I don't see a DM from Ezra"
- Check your Slack notification settings. Try
/appsin Slack to confirm Ezra is installed.
- "My workspace requires admin approval"
- Forward textezra.com/start to your Slack admin.
- "I approved but want to undo"
- Type "uninstall" in the DM with Ezra, or remove the app from Slack settings.
