Connect feedback stack

Connect the feedback tools that the team already uses to Deck as native integrations, and confirm that their data arrives.

This page is an agent-readable workflow for Deck. Humans can follow along. Coding agents should treat the steps as the source of truth.

Connect feedback stack — agent workflow

  • Use it when: the user says "connect our Slack and Intercom to Deck", "hook up our feedback tools" or "why does no data come in from Zendesk?"
  • Outcome: each feedback tool of the team is active in Deck with data flowing, or has a clear blocker and one next step.
  • Needs: Deck MCP. An organization admin connects integrations in Settings → Integrations. Plan limits apply: the Free plan allows 1 integration (Linear and Jira do not use it), Starter allows 5. Intercom and Zendesk need Starter or higher. CRM integrations need Business or higher.

1. Probe Deck MCP

Call get_user_context. This must be a real tool call.

  • 401 Unauthorized: tell the user to connect Deck MCP in this client (Settings → Connections). Stop.
  • No Deck tools: fetch and follow https://docs.getdeck.io/docs/agents/getting-started/prompts/ai-pm.md. Stop this workflow until the tools work.
  • More than one Deck organization: call select_organization, ask which one to use, and pass its org_id on every later call.

2. Read the current state

Make these two calls in parallel:

  • explore_integrations with no parameters: read counts, and for each integration state, flowing, connect_locked, lock_message and deck_url.
  • explore_workspace with view: "settings": read viewer_role. Only an admin can connect an integration.

3. Map the team's tools

Ask the user which tools hold customer feedback. Then match each tool to a Deck path:

Team toolDeck path
Slack, Intercom, Zendesk, Gong, PostHog, Notion, ConfluenceNative integration (integration_type SLACK, INTERCOM, ZENDESK, GONG, POSTHOG, NOTION or CONFLUENCE)
Salesforce, HubSpot, AttioNative CRM integration (SALESFORCE, HUBSPOT or ATTIO). It adds customer data for segments.
Linear, JiraNative integration (LINEAR or JIRA) for roadmap work, not for customer feedback. See Import the Linear roadmap and Import Jira epics.
Survey tools, for example Typeform or QualtricsMigrate surveys
Interview recordings or transcriptsImport interviews
Feedback inside the productThe Deck feedback widget. See Install a feedback widget.
Another toolThe Public API. The user creates the key in Deck. Never ask for it.

Show the list to the user. Start with the tool that holds the most feedback.

4. Get the connection steps

For each native integration on the list, call explore_integrations with its integration_type.

  • connect_locked is true: give the user lock_message. An admin also gets upgrade_url. Skip this tool and continue with the next one.
  • state is not_connected or needs_attention: give the user the deck_url and the docs page (docs_url). When the result has connection_instructions, give those steps too.
  • The user is a member: write one short request that the user can send to an organization admin. List each integration with its deck_url.

Connect one integration at a time. Wait until the user says that it is connected.

5. Finish Slack and Notion setup

  • Slack: call explore_integrations with integration_type: "SLACK" and view: "slack_channels". For each channel where bot_in_channel is false, tell the user to run /invite Deck in that channel. An admin adds channels in Settings → Integrations → Slack. Never say that a channel was added until already_synced is true.
  • Notion: a connection only gives Deck access. The user imports pages in Manage → Notion. See Notion.
  • Gong: an admin sets the sync rules in Settings → Integrations → Gong. See Gong.

6. Confirm that data flows

  1. Call explore_integrations with the integration_type. Read state, flowing, last_sync_at and synced_item_count.
  2. Call list_sources with source set to the integration, for example slack, intercom, zendesk, gong, posthog or notion. Read processing_summary.
  3. When active_count is more than 0 or sync_in_progress is true, wait about 10 seconds and call list_sources again. Stop after 5 checks and tell the user that the sync continues in the background.
  4. For Intercom and Zendesk, call list_sources with source and synthesized: false to see tickets that synced but that Deck did not process yet.
  5. Call read_transcript on one new source to show the user what Deck extracted.

7. Report

Give one row for each tool: Deck state, data flowing (yes or no), Deck's synced item count, the blocker and the next step. Add the deck_url of each integration.

Rules

  • No MCP tool connects an integration, adds a Slack channel or imports Notion pages. The user does it in the Deck web app.
  • Only organization admins manage integrations. A member asks an admin.
  • Never ask for OAuth tokens, passwords or a dk_ API key.
  • Do not say that a tool is connected until explore_integrations returns active for it.
  • Quote Deck's numbers. Do not compute your own.
  • This workflow only reads. Do not call write tools.

Done when

  • Each tool on the user's list is active with flowing true, or has a blocker and a next step.
  • The user has the report with the deck_url of each integration.
