Need to adjust how often your team is getting matched for Donut Intros, update your team’s Intro message or turn on video and calendar integrations? You can do all of these settings and more from Donut’s dashboard at app.donut.ai

Getting Started:

You can visit donut.ai at any time to view or change the Intro settings for your channels. Just sign into Donut using your Slack credentials at app.donut.ai. From there, you’ll be able to adjust the settings by clicking on the gear icon on the Intro channel you wish to edit.

The different settings are grouped together under tabs to make navigating quick and easy. Below are the tabs and what settings you can adjust in each of them.

Program Basics:

  • View and edit the channel that Donut uses to make Intros

  • Adjust what type of Intros your team is using (Standard, Lottery, or Cross Group)

  • Adjust your team’s Intro Group Size

  • Customize your team’s Intro messages

Scheduling & Meeting:

  • Adjust the frequency of Intros

  • View and update the date of the next Intro

  • Adjust the Intro time and time zone *note all Intros are made in the time and time zone you select for everyone in the channel, regardless of what time zone they may be in

Engagement:

Access Settings:

You can also adjust a few personal settings that will only apply to you under the Personal Settings tab:

  • Snooze intros for yourself

  • Opt-in to receive an email report of basic stats after each round of intros

  • Exclude yourself from Intros *Note: Even if you exclude yourself from intros, you'll remain in the Donut channel.

If you have Donut set up to Intro from more than one channel, you’ll be able to view the settings for all of your channels on donut.ai. Just go to “All Channels” in the left sidebar menu, and click into additional channels you wish to edit.

What if I don’t see settings when I log into donut.ai?

If you’re a member of multiple Slack teams it’s possible that you signed into Donut with the wrong Slack account. See this article to help you get signed in with the right team.

If you don't see any channel settings, this means you need to set up a public Slack channel with Donut. To do this, check out our getting started guide. Once you finish the initial setup, you’ll be able to view or change any of the settings on donut.ai.
