The Introductions step creates 1:1 Slack conversations between the track participant and people they should meet. Each introduction includes meeting scheduling buttons and optional reminders. Perfect for onboarding, team building, and cross-functional networking.

​
⚙️ Configuration

​
Introduction Target

Choose who the user should be introduced to. Each person gets a separate 1:1 DM with the user. Max matches: Limit how many people from a channel/group to introduce to (max 10).
Even with large channels, introductions are capped at 10 people to keep it manageable.

​
Introduction Message

Write the message both parties see when introduced. Supports rich text and placeholders ({{user}}, {{manager}}, {{mentor}}).

​
⏰ Schedule Settings

Stagger introductions over time to avoid overwhelming new hires with 20 DMs on day 1.

​
🤝 Meeting Settings

Offer 3-4 platform options for flexibility. Reserve 2 reminders for critical introductions only.

​
⭐ Best Practices

  1. Start small: Manager first, then team, then broader org
  2. Stagger with delays: Space intro waves across weeks
  3. Be selective: 5-10 meaningful intros beat 50 superficial ones
  4. Clear next steps: “Schedule 30 min this week” beats “connect sometime”
  5. Match reminders to importance: 2 for manager, 1 for team, 0 for optional
