# Slack integration

With Userdesk, you can integrate an AI Chatbot right into your Slack workspace.\
\
This is particularly useful if you have a community, or your team members need to quickly find the answers to their questions.

By integrating Userdesk into Slack, all the members of the Slack workspace will get a special command \`/userdesk ask \[question]\` to get an answer to a question from your AI Chatbot

To install Userdesk for Slack go to [this page](https://www.userdesk.io/userdesk-for-slack) and click on the button **Add to Slack.**

Confirm the installation by clicking **Allow.**
