Getting started for admins

Get your Glue workspace up and running smoothly

1

Set up your workspace

If your company does not already have a Glue workspace set up, you will have the option to create a workspace using your company email domain while you create your account.

2

Migrating from Slack? Import your channels to Glue

• You can convert public Slack channels into a Glue Thread (recommended for most) or Group

• You don't need to bring everything over — we recommend choosing your most important channels so you can have a fresh start in Glue

Check out Slack Import for more information

3

Create Groups for your teams

• Map out your ideal group structure in advance — groups are for long term collaboration

• Create critical groups (like departments) so that team members have spaces to collaborate when they join Glue

• Team members can also create their own groups for smaller teams, projects or interest groups

4

Bring your team onboard

• For larger companies: start with a small pilot group to get feedback and train champions

• Ready to add everyone? Share your workspace's invite link or copy/paste in email addresses.

5

Spread the word: Introduce Glue to your company!

Let your company know why you've decided to use Glue and how to get started quickly with our training resources.

• Customize this message template or write your own

• Send the message as a Glue Thread to show your team how to use Glue!

• For larger companies: You may decide to send this communication in advance of adding your team. In this case, share the message via email or the chat app you're migrating from to prepare everyone for the change.

Optional: Connect applications to your workspace where we have integrations! Once an app is connected to your workspace, team members can add those apps to groups and threads
