Links can be added directly to Check as media items when shared on Slack making it easier for you and your team to add items in a timely manner.
Before you start, you need to take the following steps:
- Make sure you and your team are using your Slack accounts to login to Check and you are all part of the same team.
- Connect your Check with Slack. Please have a look at our Slack integration guide
All you need to do is set up a default project for your Slack channel to send items to. This is how you can use this feature:
/check set
On your Slack channel, type /check set followed by the link of the project under your team that you want to send media items to.
Example: /check set https://checkmedia.org/meedanlabs/project/XXXX
Sending a link to Check
Now that the default project is set for your channel, you can go ahead and start sending links. In the Slack channel, type in /check then followed by the media link:
Example: /check https://twitter.com/ElGounaFilm/status/1044210058882691072
You should see something like this screen:
