From a channel (public, private, or direct message), type /ottt 30 to start a 30 minute session, or /ottt 60 for a 60 minute session, or however many minutes you would like.
You can start a session in a public channel, a private channel, and in a direct message channel.
If there are members of the channel who have not joined a session in the channel yet,
OTTT will include a Join button in the session message.
Anyone in the channel can repeat a past session of the same duration by clicking on the Repeat button or
end it for everyone by clicking the End button.
Channel members who want to stay in a channel, but do not want to participate in the OTTT sessions can use the command /ottt leave to not be included. Once all members have either clicked Join or used the leave command, the Join button will disappear.
If a team member wants to end a session just for themselves, they can change their personal DND status manually.
If you belong to more than one Slack workspace, then you likely want to synchronize your DND status across all of them to limit your interruptions. You can do this with any paid subscription to OTTT for unlimited workspaces.
From the workspace connected to your paid subscription, enter the link command into any channel or direct
message like, /ottt link. OTTT will return a code unique to you that you can
copy and paste into each of your other workspaces.
To remove a linked workspace so that it is no longer synchronized, use the command /ottt link remove in any channel or direct message of the linked workspace.
