## Start here

In this guide we will cover:

* How to sign up for an account
* Getting started from Slack
* Installing a Conclude app
* Configuring a Conclude app
* Creating your first ticket
* Concluding your first ticket

## Step 1: Sign up for an account

* Select **Sign up** at the top of this page to get started and follow the prompts
* If you see **Home** instead, it means that you have already added Conclude to your Slack workspace (go to Step 2)

💡 Tip: If you cannot add Conclude to your Slack workspace, check with your team admin.

Once you select **Sign In** you should see the following:

**If this is the first time you are signing in**, after selecting **Allow**, you will be automatically directed to the **Dashboard** (Conclude's web based UI).

* If it’s not your first time signing in, you have the option to open **Conclude in Slack**
* From the Dashboard, you can also select Conclude in Slack from the sidebar and **continue with Step 2**

## Step 2: Getting started from Slack

Once you’ve installed Conclude, you will see a welcome message with some instructions on how to run and install your first Conclude app.

From here you can go directly to Step 3 **Installing a Conclude app**.

**Conclude Home**

This is your command center in Slack where you can install and run apps, and view recent tickets.

Conclude **Home** has five sub-menus: **Dashboard**, **Overview**, **Tickets**, **Apps**, and **Help**. As you start to use Conclude, you will see information populated here.

Here are three ways to navigate to Conclude Home:

* Click anywhere you see the Conclude logo, or;
* Select Conclude from the installed apps on the left-hand side, or;
* Type `/c` home to bring up a link to Conclude Home

## Step 3: Installing a Conclude app

There are two ways to install a Conclude app from Slack:

* From the Apps section of Conclude Home by clicking Install App or;
* By running the quick command `/c app install`

💡 Tip: every command starts with `/c` . If you get stuck at any point, try using the command `/c help`. You can also find the quickstart guide under the **Help** section.

For either option you will see a list of our most popular apps:

In this example, we are using the Incident Management template:

* Select **Choose an existing channel** to install the app, e.g. \#incidents, or make a test channel by clicking **Create channel**.
* Next, click **Install**. Conclude will display a message that only you can see

💡 The channel where you install the app is the **primary channel e.g. \#incidents**, so any new tickets created from this channel will open up in a separate channel, organized by number. These channels are archived when the incident is closed.

## Step 4: Configuring a Conclude app

* **Share** lets you announce to the channel that you have installed a new app.
* **Settings** will take you to **Conclude Dashboard > App Settings**, where you can customize the content and behavior of your app (see below)

Conclude offers multiple ways to configure and define an app’s behavior.

* **General settings** – configure the app’s name, enter a short description, and determine who has access, among other things
* **Roles and access** – assign an owner, specify which people and channels will be invited, and which channels will receive notifications
* **Review settings** – decide who reviews incoming issues and set up any exclusion criteria
* **Attribute fields** – configure existing attributes or add new ones; this includes **Severity settings** – enable and configure severity levels
* **Text settings** – customize different text fields, including the **Launch** button and **Owner** label
* **Integrations** – this is where you can see and set up email settings (including summarization and email translation), and connect a [Jira project](https://conclude.io/quickstart/jira/) or [Zendesk integration](https://conclude.io/quickstart/zendesk/) – see the associated Quickstart Guides for more
* **Expert** – view or edit the YAML source code of any app
* **Delete app** – lets you permanently delete an installed app

## Step 5: Creating your first ticket

In this example, anyone who is a member of the \#incidents channel can report an incident.

There are several ways to create a ticket in Slack:

* Type /c to see a list of installed apps then click the New Incident button
* Navigate to the channel and type `/c new` to create a new ticket
* Go to Conclude Home > Apps and select **New incident**

Create the ticket and add some more details, then **Submit** the incident (you can edit and add more details later).

### What happens next?

* An alert is sent to the channel e.g. `#incidents`
* A dedicated channel for the ticket `#_incidents-1` is created. Other incidents created from the primary channel will get their own dedicated channels i.e. `#_incidents-2`, `#_incidents-3`, etc.
* Everyone from the `#incidents` channel can see the new ticket

💡Tip: **Rename the channel** using the command `/c rename _type-new-channel-name`. We recommend using the underscore as a way to keep tickets grouped together.

**Adding more details**

* Navigate to the channel e.g. `#_incidents-1`
* Select the row you want to edit e.g. Assigned to and Edit using the buttons on the right
* Otherwise, send a message to the channel with any additional information (optional).

## Step 6: Concluding your first ticket

After the issue is resolved, the ticket can be concluded. The Slack channel is archived but still remains searchable from the **Dashboard**.

To conclude a ticket:

* Select the green **Conclude** button and leave an optional note about the resolution
* The ticket is closed and the dedicated channel `#_incidents-1` will disappear
* A message will be sent to the main channel e.g. `#incidents`, notifying team members that the incident has been resolved with any relevant details

💡 Tip: Use the link to go to the **Conclude Dashboard** (or Conclude Home > Dashboard) to see a complete overview of all your tickets, their status (open or closed) and severity level.
