Install
Connect your Slack workspace to Wilson: the OAuth install flow, who can run it, the workspace states, and how to uninstall.
Installing Wilson connects one Slack workspace to your Dynamiq organization. It is a one-time setup that an organization Owner or Admin runs; after that, every teammate links their own account and starts talking to Wilson (see Using Wilson).
Who can install
Connecting or disconnecting the workspace is a management action, so it requires the Owner or Admin organization role. A Member cannot install the workspace, but once it is connected any member can link their personal account. See Members & Roles for the full role model.
Each organization connects one workspace. If a workspace is already connected, Wilson asks you to disconnect it before installing another.
Connect the workspace
Open your organization Dashboard
Sign in to Wilson and open your organization Dashboard. While the workspace is not yet connected, a Connect your Slack workspace banner sits at the top of the page.

Start the install
Click Connect. A popup opens Slack's authorization page, which lists the permissions Wilson needs — to read the channels and DMs it is part of, post messages and reply in threads, upload and read files, and handle its slash commands.
Approve in Slack
Pick the workspace to install into and approve. Slack redirects back and the popup confirms Authorization successful — you can close this tab. Wilson's bot is now a member of the workspace, and whoever ran the install receives a one-time welcome DM.
The banner disappears once the workspace reaches the installed state. If you close the Slack tab before approving, the connection stays in a pending state and the banner remains — click Connect again to retry.
Workspace states
The workspace connection reports one of three states, which drive what your teammates see:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| not_installed | No workspace connected. The Dashboard shows the Connect your Slack workspace banner. |
| pending | An install was started but not completed in Slack. Re-running the connect flow resumes it. |
| installed | The workspace is connected and Wilson is live. Teammates can now link their accounts. |
Uninstall
To disconnect Wilson, an Owner or Admin removes the workspace connection from the same organization. Disconnecting uninstalls Wilson's bot from the Slack workspace and drops the stored connection, so Wilson stops responding there. Reconnecting later is the same Connect flow from the top.
A workspace can only be connected to one organization at a time. If you try to install a workspace that is already connected elsewhere, Slack completes the OAuth flow but Wilson reports that the workspace is already connected — uninstall it from the other organization first.
