Adding Sidecar to Channels

Adding the Sidecar Slack App to channels enables Slack thread anchoring — conversations about data assets are automatically linked in the Sidecar catalog.
Sidecar only supports anchoring for public channels to which the Sidecar App has been added.
To add Sidecar to a channel:
  1. Navigate to the channel in Slack.
  2. Click the icon in the top-right that shows channel participants.
  3. Click the Integrations tab.
  4. Click Add an App, find the Sidecar app, and add it.
Repeat for all channels where you want Sidecar to listen.
