How to use Skej on Slack

How to DM and use Skej with your team on Slack

Where Skej Works

Skej is available in:

  • Direct messages (1:1 with Skej)
  • Private group messages
  • Public or private Slack channels (when added)
  • Skej will not work in Slack Connect channels connected to members of external Workspaces

Adding Skej to a Channel

To use Skej in a channel:

  • Add @Skej to the channel like any other member
  • Once added, Skej can help coordinate meetings within that space

You can add Skej to:

  • Team channels (e.g., recruiting, sales)
  • Private group channels
  • Dedicated scheduling channels

How Skej Listens

Skej only responds when explicitly invoked.

  • Tag @Skej to trigger it
  • In a new message, Skej only sees that message
  • In a thread, Skej can see prior messages in that thread for context

Skej does not read or monitor all messages in a channel.

Scheduling Internal Meetings

If participants are Skej users, scheduling is instant.

Skej:

  • Checks availability across calendars
  • Applies preferences and buffers
  • Automatically books the best time

You can:

  • Tag specific people: @Alex @Taylor
  • Use @channel for group coordination

Skej will confirm once the meeting is scheduled.
