Share Learn content in Slack

We’ve got a number of new ways you can send Learn content directly to OnLoop without leaving Slack. These include Slash commands (e.g. /learn) and the @OnLoop bot.

<aside> 🚀 Tip: Slash commands (/capture) are only visible to you. Messages to the @OnLoop bot are visible to whoever is in the channel you send them to.

/learn + link + tags

Don’t let smart content disappear in Slack. Send it to OnLoop so you can always find it in the Learn tab when you (and your team) need it most. Here’s how:

Type /learn in any channel or chat to start: /learn
Paste the URL to the article or podcast you wish to share: https://www.wired.com/2011/06/ff-feedbackloop/
Type relevant tags [between brackets]: [Develops Others] [Insightful Comments]
Hit Enter
Select the team you want to target, or save privately for yourself
Example: /learn https://www.wired.com/2011/06/ff-feedbackloop/ [Develops Others] [Insightful Comments]

Mention @OnLoop in a message

<aside> ⚠️ The @OnLoop bot only works in public channels or via the OnLoop Slack app — private channels and direct messages won’t work.

Similarly to /learn + link + tags, paste the link you'd like to save and add relevant tags [between brackets]. This time, instead of starting with /learn, just type @OnLoop anywhere in the message. ****Hit Enter then select the Team you want to target. It should look like this:

@OnLoop https://www.wired.com/2011/06/ff-feedbackloop/ [Develops Others] [Insightful Comments]
