Union for Slack
Warm introductions, asked for in Slack.
Message Union like a colleague. It learns who you need to meet and introduces you through its network.

P
@Union we need an intro to a head of procurement at a regional hospital network in Texas.
-
On it. Is this for the scheduling product, and should they own a budget above $250K?
Ask in a DM
Tell Union who you need to meet. It asks what it needs to know, then proposes warm introductions from its network.
Mention it in a channel
Add Union to a channel and @mention it. It replies in the thread, and reacts with 👀 while it works.
Introductions with consent
Nobody is introduced until both sides say yes. Union writes the introduction once they do.
What Union reads
Only what it needs to answer and to know who is asking. Messages in channels it was not added to stay out of reach.
- Direct messages
- Messages you send Union, and its replies
- Channels it joins
- Messages in channels someone adds Union to, read as the room's context
- Member list
- Names, titles and emails from Slack profiles, so Union knows who it is talking to
- Files
- Documents and images shared with Union
