How to use your Slack Card

Your Slack Card opens your digital profile when someone holds it near their phone or scans its QR code. Here you activate it, complete your profile and learn to share it. Whoever scans you doesn't need to install anything.

Step by step

  1. Activate your card

    Hold the card near your phone or scan its QR code with the camera. Tap "Get started", enter your email and tap "Activate".

    If you already have a Slack Cards account, use that same email.

  2. Enter the code

    We email you a 6-number code. Type it in "Enter the code": it is valid for 10 minutes and works only once.

    If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder or tap "Resend code".

  3. Complete your profile

    Once activated you land on "Your card". Add your photo, your name, your job title and how you'd like people to reach you under "Profile", "Contact" and "Social and links".

    Changes save on their own, with no save button: you'll see "All saved" when they're done.

    Menu › Edit My Profile

  4. Check how others see you

    Tap "See how others see me" to view your profile exactly as someone who scans your card will.

    Under "Your card's design" you choose the design and your profile's language ("Your card's language").

  5. Share it

    Tap "Share my card". "Copy link" lets you paste it on WhatsApp, your social profiles or your email signature. "Show my QR code" lets people scan it from your screen.

    Anyone who opens your profile can save you to their contacts with one tap.

  6. Save it to your phone

    In "Share my card", use the Apple Wallet button on an iPhone or the Google Wallet one on Android. It stays at hand, and you can show it to be scanned even without the card on you.

  7. Receive contacts

    Under "Contacts and privacy", turn on the "Contact form". People who view your profile can leave you their details: they reach you by email and appear in "Received contacts".

    Menu › Received contacts

  8. If you lose your card

    In "My Cards", tap "Disable" and no one will see your profile from that card. If you find it, turn it back on with "Enable".

    Menu › My Cards

  9. Sign in again any time

    Go to socialslack.com/login, enter the email you activated your card with and tap "Continue". We email you a new code each time: no password needed.
