If your organization uses Slack as a chat platform, you can easily integrate Pilot directly into your Slack team workspace to search your knowledge base.
Who can use this feature?
Any user should be able to install the Pilot app to their workspace by default. The email address in Slack as well as Pilot must match.
Please note: There are scenarios where your organization's Slack workspace settings may restrict app installations and will require Admin approval. Check out Slack's help article on managing app approval for your Slack workspace.

What to expect
All plans can connect their Pilot account to Slack.
Once you’ve connected to Slack, you (or any other Admins within your organization) can edit your connection settings or disconnect at any time.
Once installed, anyone in Slack who is part of your Pilot organization can search for and share knowledge base resources directly in Slack.
