Installing Peerbound in Slack: Single vs. Multiple Workspaces

Peerbound can be installed in one of two ways, depending on your Slack environment:

  • Single Workspace: If your organization only needs Peerbound in one Slack workspace, the app can be installed directly into that workspace. No additional configuration is required.

  • Slack Enterprise Grid (Multiple Workspaces): If your organization uses Slack Enterprise Grid and wants Peerbound available across multiple workspaces, the app should be installed at the Enterprise Organization level. However, this does not automatically make it available in every workspace.

After Peerbound has been installed at the Enterprise Organization level, a Slack administrator must also enable it in each individual workspace where it should be used.

To add Peerbound to additional workspaces:

  1. Sign in to Slack as a Slack administrator.

  2. Navigate to Settings & administration → Manage apps (or Integrations, depending on your Slack admin interface).

  3. Open Installed Apps.

  4. Select Peerbound.

  5. Click Add to more workspaces.

  6. Choose the workspace(s) where Peerbound should be available and complete the installation.

Installing Peerbound at the Enterprise Organization level alone does not grant access in every workspace. The app must be added to each workspace individually. Only a Slack administrator with the appropriate permissions can perform this action.
