Team Setup

Get your team configured in a few minutes.

Creating a team

Teams are the central unit in Tenpace. Everything — channels, members, webhooks, reminders — belongs to a team. When you first sign up, a team is created for you automatically.

You can create additional teams (e.g., for separate business units or clients) from the team switcher in the navigation bar.

Inviting team members

Invite members from the Settings → Members page. Each invitation sends an email with a link to accept and join the team.

Members can have two roles:

RolePermissions
MemberView dashboards, receive notifications, link their accounts
AdminEverything above, plus manage channels, webhooks, and team settings

Linking GitHub accounts

For Slack @mentions and personalized digests to work, each team member needs to link their GitHub account. They do this once from their Profile page.

After linking:

  • When they're requested as a reviewer, they get @mentioned in Slack.
  • When they submit a review, the PR author is notified.
  • They receive the daily digest (if enabled).

Members who haven't linked yet still appear in PR messages by their GitHub username, but without Slack @mentions.

Linking Slack accounts

Linking Slack happens separately from GitHub. Members go to their Profile → Connections page and click Connect Slack. This identifies their Slack user ID so Tenpace can DM them directly.

If your team uses multiple Slack workspaces, members can link a different Slack identity per workspace.

Configuring notification channels

Adding a channel

Go to Settings → Channels and add a Slack channel. During setup:

  1. Choose the Slack channel to post to.
  2. Select repositories to watch (or leave blank to watch all).
  3. Configure optional filters (GitHub labels, file paths).
  4. Set the reviewer mention policy.

Multiple channels

You can configure multiple channels for different purposes:

  • #prs-frontend — only the acme/frontend repo
  • #prs-backend — only the acme/backend repo
  • #prs-all — all repos, no filters (catch-all)

Daily PR reminders

Enable daily personalized DMs in Settings → Reminders. Configure:

  • Reminder time — When to send the daily digest (e.g., 9:00 AM)
  • Timezone — Your team's timezone
  • Stale threshold — How many hours before a PR is considered stale (default: 48h)

Team switcher

If you're a member of multiple teams, use the team switcher in the top navigation to switch context. All settings, channels, and webhooks are scoped to the active team.
