1. Sign in to your account
2. Create a collection
3. Upload document, crawl a website or ingest a data source
4. Click the "Integrations"
5. Click the "Install" for Slack

Grant the permission. ChatBees only requires the necessary permissions to read and send messages.

The employee can directly ask the bot a question, and the interaction will remain private, visible only to the employee. Alternatively, you can add the ChatBees Slackbot to a public channel, allowing everyone in the channel to use the slash command `/bees` to ask questions publicly.

## /bees command

The `/bees your question?` command is used to ask a question against the collection. The bot will analyze all the documents and information that have been shared in the collection, and generate the relevant answer.

{% hint style="info" %}
The default permissions for `/bees` allow everyone to use it in the channel that ChatBees is added to. Please make sure you add ChatBees to the channels that people want to use it.
{% endhint %}

## Uninstall

Simply Uninstall the app in Slack.&#x20;
