This is the section to send to whoever’s setting up Deductive for your team. It’s a one-time, sequential walkthrough. Sign in, connect every relevant tool at once, install Slack, and confirm the workspace is ready. Once you’re done, point your team at Use Deductive → Welcome and you’re out of the loop. If you’re a regular user who landed here by accident, jump to Use Deductive → Welcome.

Who should do this

One person. Typically the team lead, an SRE, or a platform engineer with credentials access. You need to be the one who can either get or already has:
  • Admin access to your team’s Datadog / Grafana / Splunk / etc.
  • Owner or admin access to your GitHub org (for the GitHub App install)
  • Slack workspace admin (for installing the bot)
  • A list of any internal alerting URL patterns your team uses
Setting up Deductive once shares it across the entire workspace. Members don’t need their own credentials.

What you’ll do

Five short pages, in order:

1. Sign in

Find your workspace URL (app.deductive.ai for self-serve, or your <company>.deductive.ai Enterprise URL). Sign in.

2. Connect your stack

Single comprehensive page. Walk through every connector your team needs in one sitting. Code, observability, incidents, infra, errors.

3. Connect Slack

Install the Deductive Slack app at the workspace level. Once. Everyone benefits.

4. Done-when checklist

Confirm the workspace is genuinely ready before sharing the user docs with the team.

How long this actually takes

PhaseActive timeRealistic wall-clock

Connect your stack15 min15–60 min (depends on how many credentials you have to hunt down)
Connect Slack5 min5 min
Verify with the checklist5 min5 min
The honest answer: about 30 minutes if your credentials are all at hand, up to an hour if you have to ping a teammate for the right service-account key.

Hand-off when you’re done

Once the checklist is fully green:
  1. Share Use Deductive → Welcome with your team. That’s the user-facing entry point.
  2. Optionally, drop a one-liner in your team channel: “Deductive is set up. Start at [link].”
  3. You’re done. Day-to-day use doesn’t require admin involvement; users configure their own per-channel alert routing, MCP installs in their IDEs, and feedback.
You will need to come back once a quarter or so to add new connectors as your stack changes, but that’s it.
