If Donut is installed in your Slack workspace, you’ll be able to sign into donut.ai using your Slack credentials, allowing you to view and update settings for your team. You don’t have to create a separate account for Donut or remember a password for Donut — everything works using your Slack account!

  1. Head over to donut.com.

  2. Click "Get Started" then “Sign In” in the upper right corner.

  3. If you’re not already signed into Slack, you'll be taken to a sign-in page on slack.com — sign in with your Slack username and password. If you’re already signed in to Slack, you’ll skip this step.

  4. You'll see a Slack authorization page confirming that Donut wants to "confirm your identity" on Slack. Hit "Continue."

  5. Now you're in! 🎉

What if I have multiple Slack accounts for multiple Slack workspaces?

You'll only be able to sign into Donut with an account for a Slack workspace that uses Donut. If you’re a member of multiple Slack workspaces, you may accidentally sign into Donut with the wrong account. Here’s what to do if you think this has happened:

  1. Go to donut.com. If you’re already signed into Donut, click on your name in the upper right corner and click “sign out.”

  2. Once you’re on the Donut home page, click “Sign In” in the upper right.

  3. If you're not already signed into Slack, you'll be prompted to sign in to your Slack workspace. Make sure to sign into the workspace that uses Donut! If you're already signed into a Slack workspace, you'll go straight to #4.

  4. You'll see a Slack authorization page confirming that Donut wants to "confirm your Identity" on Slack. Use the dropdown menu in the upper right to choose the workspace that uses Donut.

"You are not authorized to install Donut"

  1. Open Slack

  2. Click the downward facing arrow next to your workspace's name located in the upper left corner.

  3. Click on "Preferences".

  4. Select "Connected Accounts".

  5. Check if the box next to "Allow Slack to connect with other apps" is unchecked. If it is, click inside the checkbox to enable this setting.

  6. Try signing in again.
