Who are the people behind Conclude?

Conclude is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with a hub in Barcelona, Spain.

CEO and co-founder Haavard Nord was the inventor of the industry standard framework Qt, used by more than a million developers to create apps for everything from home appliances to supercars.

Lars Knoll, who was instrumental in building Qt into a multi-billion euro company, joined Conclude in 2022 as CTO. Lars is also known as the creator of the open source code that became WebKit, the engine that powers most web browsers today, including Safari and Chrome.

Haavard and his team work relentlessly to take collaboration to a higher level and make teams more productive, just like Qt has helped thousands of companies build better software.

Conclude Workflows Technical FAQ

What is an activity channel?

An activity channel is a temporary channel created by a Conclude Workflow app where the team can work on a single task. 

Activity channels typically start with an underscore and end with a sequential number to give them a unique name, for example, #_incident-1, #_incident-2 etc.

Conclude automatically archives an activity channel when the activity is concluded and closed. 

You can still see closed activities in Conclude Home (from Slack) and the Conclude Dashboard.

Can I change an activity channel’s name?

Conclude automatically generates activity channel names based on the channel where the activity is installed.

For example, if you install an app in #devops, activity channels will be named #_devops-1, #_devops-2 etc.

You can manually rename the activity channel by typing /c rename and then typing a new name.

Can I create private activity channels?
Yes. If you install an app in a private Slack channel, all activity channels will be private by default.
Can I use Conclude Workflows in any Slack channel?

Yes, you can install workflow apps in any public or private Slack channel. 

You cannot create new activity channels from direct message (DM) conversations or from inside existing activity channels.

Can I remove someone from an activity channel?
Yes. The procedure is the same as when removing someone from a channel in Slack, by using the Slack channel settings menu or the built-in /remove command.
Can I remove myself from an activity channel?
Yes. You use the same procedure as in Slack, either through Slack’s channel settings menu or by using the built-in /leave command.
What happens when I conclude an activity?

To conclude an activity, type /c conclude.

The activity channel is archived and disappears from Slack, but remains visible and searchable from the Conclude Dashboard.

Can I reopen an activity that has been concluded?
You can reopen activities from the Conclude Dashboard. Just click Reopen in the Settings menu.
How can I share feedback with the Conclude team?
We love to receive feedback. Typing  /c feedback from Slack opens a form where you can send us your comments and help us to improve Conclude.
