Frequently asked questions. Answers to common queries about using Recut inside Slack.
How do I install the Recut Slack integration?
Simply click 'Integrate Slack in 1-Click' and log in to your Recut account. Click the Slack authorization button to grant minimal slash command permissions to your workspace. The integration takes less than 30 seconds to activate.
Can our team use our custom branded domain with Slack?
Yes! If you have configured a default custom domain in your Recut Account Settings (for example go.brand.com), the Slack bot will automatically use that domain whenever you shorten a link.
Are links shortened in Slack saved to my Recut account?
Yes. Every single link generated through the /recut command is instantly stored in your Recut dashboard. You can edit the destination URL, change targeting rules, add UTM parameters, or review historical analytics anytime.
Can other members of the channel see my slash command?
By default, Slack slash commands are executed privately, and the Recut bot response is returned as an ephemeral message ('Only you can see this'). You can then copy or paste the short link into your public message.
How do I check click analytics for a link inside Slack?
Simply type `/recut clicks:[your-shortlink]`, for example: `/recut clicks:https://recut.in/launch`. The bot will return the total click count and the last 5 clicks with timestamp, country, and browser data.
Is the Recut Slack bot free to use?
Yes! The Slack integration is included on Recut's Free Forever plan as well as all Pro and Enterprise tiers.
