Using Slack
Have your team comms and guest comms in one place
If you already use Slack, easily connect it to your HostAI account. This will allow you to approve, dismiss, and edit messages from your Slack account
For teams that manage >30 listings, we recommend that you use the HostAI inbox for your messaging. Teaching the AI isn't available through Slack
Connecting Slack
Navigate to the Settings page and scroll down to Messaging Apps
