There are currently two different versions of Slackbots, AlexisHR and Alexis AI. AlexisHR is the old version of our Slackbot and Alexis AI is the newer version. If you have the AlexisHR app installed, we suggest that you uninstall it and switch to the newer Alexis AI app. Any mainetance, improvements and new functionality will be released to the Alexis AI app going forward and we will finalize the replacement of the AlexisHR Slackbot in the beginning of 2024.
​
Switching to the new app is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
​
Here are the steps for Owners/Admins:

Alexis

Step 1:

  • Go in to the company tab, scroll down to Slack and in there you can "Remove integration" for Slack in the AlexisHR tab.

Step 2:

  • Then go to the AlexisAI tab and connect that new Alexis AI Slackbot. When clicking "Connect Slack" you should be able allow Alexis AI to connect with your Slack workspace.

  • Slack should automatically add the app "Alexis AI" to your Slack, allowing you to get started right away

    • if not you can also manually add the new app via Slack:

    • Go in to Apps (App Directory) in Slack, search for Alexis AI. Select the app and write the command: /alexis-ai login and "Connect now".
      ​

Slack

Step 3:

  • Go to Slack and the old AlexisHR Slackbot: write the command /alexis logout and then remove the AlexisHR Slackbot by simply clicking the "x" in the menu

Here are the steps for Employees:

  1. To remove old Slackbot: Go to Alexis HR in Slack and write command /alexis logout

    1. Remove the Alexis HR app from Slack

  2. To add the new Slackbot: Go to "Add apps" and search for Alexis AI

    1. "Connect now" or /alexis-ai login


Done πŸ₯³ Now you should only have an active connection between Alexis AI (Slack) and Alexis (web). And in this Slackbot you can just do everything as before - use the command "help" to find out everything you can do in the new Slackbot.
