What is Conclude Bridge?

Conclude Bridge is a Slack and Teams integration that connects different workspaces and tenants outside your organization. Multiple channel connections can be set up with one admin invite, while each side maintains control.

Ideal for admins managing large-scale or multi-team deployments, companies navigating mergers and acquisitions, and organizations with established partner ecosystems.

How to set up a Slack Teams bridge

One invite, multiple channel connections

If you want secure, cross-company collaboration, with multiple channel connections, Bridge is the best solution. If you prefer a per-channel invite solution, our external collaboration solution is a better fit.

With Bridge, sending one invite enables workspaces to be connected – but no information is shared until you share and approve selected channel links. Conclude also provides granular security controls per channel connection for files, images and message syncing.

How Bridge differs from External connections

External
One invite per channel connection
  • Quick to set up, external users don’t pay
  • Best when you only need one or a few channels
  • Ideal for agencies and client-facing relationships
  • No workspace-level relationship to manage

enterprise grade security

Enterprise-grade security compliant

Conclude Bridge meets the compliance requirements of large and regulated organizations. It is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant, reflecting our commitment to data security and privacy practices across all of our products.

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Connections are managed at the workspace or tenant level, giving admins full visibility and control over which teams and channels are linked. No message content is stored. See Security for more information.

 

Bridge for multi-team environments

Mergers & acquisitions

When two companies merge, getting people communicating quickly matters.

Bridge lets IT admins connect both organizations’ workspaces from Day 1, so teams can start collaborating in their existing tools without waiting for a full platform migration.

Partner ecosystems

A solution to help maintain ongoing connections with partners across Slack and Teams.

Set it up once at the workspace or tenant level and add new shared channels as the relationship grows – without sending an invitation that needs to be approved each time.

Agency-client relationships

Agencies and consultancy companies with long-term client-facing accounts can also connect workspaces or tenants up front and share project channels as needed.

This reduces setup friction for both sides and minimizes the need for extra approvals.
