Slack app
Ask the clock without leaving Slack.
Add one slash command to your workspace and ask from any channel or DM. Answers are only visible to you, unless you choose to share them.
Install the Slack app
Click Add to Slack
Choose your workspace. If your workspace limits apps, Slack lets you send a request to your admin instead.
Allow the two permissions
commands adds /clock. users:read lets the app see the time zone of people you mention. It cannot read your messages.
Try it in any channel
Type /clock help to see examples, or go straight to /clock tokyo. Only you see the answer.
Link your team board (optional)
Type /clock link in a channel and open the link. Log in to ItsNineThere, pick a board, and /clock team shows it in that channel.
Good to know
- Who sees the answers?
- Only you, by default. Add public to the end of a command to post it in the channel.
- What can the app read?
- The text you type after /clock and the time zone of people you mention. It never reads channel messages.
- Do teammates need to set anything up?
- No. Their time zone comes from their Slack profile, so it works as soon as the app is installed.
- How do I remove it?
- In Slack, open Apps, find ItsNineThere and choose Remove. We delete your workspace data when you do.
