Sharing article links on Slack

If you have an enterprise account, then you can share a link to the article on Slack or Microsoft Teams. Only people who have accounts on the platform will be able to read the full text.

On any article page, click the Slack icon to sign into the service. you want to share on and sign in to connect it, and select the channel to share a link.

Among the action buttons on the right ('Opened for Reading', 'Download PDF $57', 'Share Full Text for Free'), an orange arrow points to a highlighted 'Sign In' button with the Slack logo — clicked to connect Slack before sharing.

Enter the name of your Slack workspace. If you don't know it, you can usually find it by clicking on the company name in Slack.

Sharing links on Slack

Back on the article page, you'll see the button now says "Share Link".

Screenshot of the same DeepDyve article page after connecting Slack: the orange arrow now points to the highlighted button that reads 'Share Link' with the Slack logo, in place of 'Sign In'.

Select the channel you want to share the article to. We recommend creating a DeepDyve channel for just those users in your organization that have a DeepDyve license.

Screenshot of the dialog 'Please Choose Your Slack Channel to Share Your DeepDyve Article' with an orange arrow pointing to the 'Slack Channels' dropdown (example '#article-discussions'), plus 'Share this Article' and 'Close' buttons.

A link to the article will be posted in the chosen channel. Users of that channel who have DeepDyve subscriptions will be able to click the link to read the article at DeepDyve. For more details, check out this blog post featuring videos of each step.
