- You’ll be taken to the Slack page to confirm connecting Codex to your slack - confirm
- You’ll be brought to a basic success page that will then open Slack
- In Slack you will need to connect to the channel you created called
codex-log
- 🎉 You’re done! Now when someone creates context in Codex it will be reported into the Slack channel and your team can click the handy “Open in VSCode” link to be taken directly into the file at the line of the code block (as long as the repository is present on the local machine)
