Help & setup
Everything you and your Slack admins need to get playing.
🎮 How it works
-
1
Add to Slack, then sign in
Install Trombingo on the workspace you want to play with, then sign in. Slack will ask you to pick a workspace if you belong to several.
-
2
One-time workspace setup
The first person installs Trombingo for everyone. Some companies require a Slack admin to approve this once.
-
3
Play and compete
Signing in creates your player account. Scores go on the workspace leaderboard. Roster photos are fetched from Slack when you play; open games keep shared round content temporarily.
🔐 Admin approval
If sign-in was blocked, share these steps with your Slack admin.
- Open Slack → Settings & administration → Manage apps.
- Search for Trombingo or approve the pending install request.
- Allow users:read (roster photos) and commands (/trombingo). No message or channel access.
- Teammates can sign in and play immediately after approval.
Admins approve once. Later logins are a quick identity check on Slack.
🌐 Multiple workspaces
Belong to several Slack organizations? Sign out of Trombingo, then sign in again and pick the other workspace in Slack.
- Use Sign out in the account menu.
- On the next Sign in with Slack, choose the workspace you want to play in.
- Each workspace keeps its own roster and its own leaderboard.
