Integrations for Admins

To use GoSearch effectively throughout your organization, you should set up integrations. 

What Are Integrations?

In GoSearch, integrations let you connect external tools and allow you to use GoSearch throughout your workflow, bringing the power of GoSearch wherever you work.

With the Slack/Teams integration, you can use enterprise search directly within these communication tools. GoSearch acts as your own workplace assistant, answering any question for you while you’re on Slack, so you don’t have to context-switch or ping colleagues for answers. 

All you have to do is tag the GoSearch app in your desired channel and include your search query. From there, you can easily find and share resources directly in your messages. 

How to set up Integrations 

To Start

• Admins should set up their Teams or Slack integrations and then activate other key workspace connectors (like Google Calendar, Jira or Notion) and enable personal connectors. This ensures team-wide access and a seamless onboarding experience.
• Then, individual users should
  • Install the GoSearch browser extension.
  • Connect their own personal data sources for a fully personalized search experience.

This layered setup ensures both organization-wide visibility and individual productivity—all in one place.

To delete an integration from your workspace, you need to Contact Technical Support.

Slack Integration

Note: If workspace app permissions are open, any member can add the GoSearch integration on their own. If application approval is required, an admin must first approve or whitelist the app for the workspace. After approval, individuals can activate the GS for their own use.

1. From your GoSearch dashboard, navigate to Settings in the left-hand menu.
2. Select Integrations. Here, you can view existing integrations and connect new ones.
3. To the right of the Slack Integration, click Connect.
4. A new tab will open. Enter your Slack Workspace URL and click continue.
5. Sign in to Slack. You may have to sign in using SSO depending on your workspace specifications for Slack and GoLinks 
6. Then read the permission page and allow GoLinks to access your Slack workspace by clicking Allow.
7. Then, you will be redirected to the GoSearch dashboard. 
8. Open Slack and view the welcome message to see how you can activate GoSearch within Slack.
9. Make sure to add the GoSearch bot by entering “/invite @GoSearch” to your public and private channels so users can interact with GoSearch without leaving Slack.

Microsoft Teams Integration

Note: If the organization’s Teams admin settings allow, any member can add the GoSearch integration on their own without admin involvement. If there are restrictions, the admin must approve GoSearch before members can add it. After approval, individuals can activate GoSearch for their own use.

1. From the Teams application, click Apps on the left-hand menu.
2. Search for GoSearch and click Add.
3. Read the Overview and click Add. 
4. From there, click Open.
5. Select the channel they want to receive notifications in and click on “Go”.
   1. You can only select one channel in the above pop-up.
6. You’ll be brought to the GoSearch Teams chatbot and should see the welcome message in the channel selected.

Your integrations should now be set up and your team members should be able to activate personal connectors. If you need further assistance, please consult the GoSearch Help Center.
