Creating and adding to Guru Cards in Slack

To create a Guru Card that includes threaded comments, add the Guru app to the Slack channel. You only need to do this step once per Slack channel in your workspace.

Alternatively, you can @ mention guru in a message in the Slack channel.

1. Click on the three ellipses (“⋮") on the upper right-hand corner of any Slack message to open the More actions menu.

2. If you don't see the Guru-related shortcuts at the bottom of the More actions menu, click More message shortcuts... and search for "Create Card".

3. Select Create Card.

4. Enter a Card title and select which Card content you’d like to include in your Card.

5. If you have added the Guru app to the channel, you can select if you would like to create a Card from that message of the entire thread from the dropdown at the top-right:

6. Under Publishing Options, select Save as Draft (in Guru) if you'd prefer to revisit in the web app or extension before publishing. Otherwise, select Publish Card now and hit Save.

7. After opting to Publish Card now, the Guru Slackbot will prompt you to select the Collection you'd like to add the Card to. Click Next to proceed or click Cancel to abort publishing the Card. A draft Card will not be saved when publishing is canceled at this stage.

8. Finally, select the Verifier and Verification interval. You can also assign the Card to a Board, create a new Board, add tags, or create a new tag. Click Save to proceed or click Cancel to abort publishing the Card. A draft Card will not be saved when publishing is canceled at this stage.

9. Ta-da! 🚀 Your newly published Card is linked in a threaded, automated Guru Slackbot reply with the options to View Card or Open Card in Guru.

✍️ Note

1. Click on the three ellipses (“⋮") on the upper right-hand corner of any Slack message containing a linked Guru Card to open the More actions menu.

2. If you don't see the Guru-related shortcuts at the bottom of the More actions menu, click More message shortcuts... and search for "Add to existing Card".

3. Locate the Card you'd like to add content to and select Add to this Card.

❗️Important

You must be an Author or Collection Owner in the Card's Collection to edit the Card.

4. Below the option to View Card or Open Card in Guru, the text content of the original selected Slack message appears for editing. Note: the contents of this text box will be added to the bottom of the selected Card.

5. Under Publishing options, select Save as Draft (in Guru) if you'd prefer to revisit in the web app or browser extension before publishing. Otherwise, select Publish Card now and hit Save.

6. Ta-da! 🚀 The Guru Card is now updated.
