Slack

Connecting Pulse to your OCV Slack account to look up company info, check domains, and use other tools without leaving Slack.

Setup

You'll need an active Pulse account and access to OCV's Slack workspace.

1. In Slack, run /pulse auth
2. Click 'Authenticate with Pulse'
3. Accept the Slack authorization

Your Slack and Pulse accounts are now linked. To unlink, go visit your Profile in Pulse.

Available Commands

1. /ops help - Lists all available commands.
2. /ops details <company name> - Returns info about a company. The name is fuzzy-matched, so partial names or minor typos will still work.
3. /ops domain <name> - Checks domain availability across multiple TLDs. Results are visible to everyone in the channel.
4. /ops headline <title> - Evaluates a potential blog post title against criteria known to perform well. Returns a pass/fail rating.
5. /ops recon <repo URL> - Pulls metrics for a GitHub or GitLab repo (such as recent commits, merged pull requests, contributors).

Link Previews

When you paste a Pulse link in Slack, it automatically expands with relevant details about the resource. Repo links pasted in public channels also auto-expand with project metrics - the same you'd get from /ops recon.
