tip
Please ensure to select the correct Slack workspace; we see a lot of people installing Billy in the wrong workspace 🙈

🚒 Troubleshooting 🚒
I don't have the permissions to install Billy

If you're seeing this, fill out the request to install, and once it is approved, Slackbot will send you a message:

I'm not seeing the setup form
If you're seeing this instead, move on directly to the Add Billy to a channel documentation page.
This is because you have a lot of channels in your Slack workspace and Billy can't load them all.
