How to Add A Company via Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp

Written by Kruncher | November 24, 2025

Other than manually adding companies in Kruncher and connecting your email, Kruncher lets you add a company directly through your messaging apps, such as Slack, Telegram, or WhatsApp.

Kruncher is designed to work with your existing workflows, not the other way around. You may minimally interact with Kruncher's main app on browser if you prefer using apps you already interact with on a daily basis.

This guide shows you how to do it in a simple, step-by-step way. 

Before You Begin 

IMPORTANT: Before you can add a company through a messaging app, Kruncher Bot must be set up and active on that platform. 

Follow the setup guides here on how to get Kruncher Bot into your selected messaging app:

How It Works

  1. Open your chat with the Kruncher Bot
    • This could be: 
      • A Slack channel where the bot is added,
      • A Telegram group where the bot is allowed to chat,
      • A WhatsApp Direct Message with Kruncher Bot. 
  2. Simply tell Kruncher Bot (in your own words) that you want to add a company, like how you would ask ChatGPT.
  3. You only need one thing to add a company: the company’s website. 
  4. For example, you can send a message like: "please add this company www.example.com"
  5. You can also send a company document, and the bot will understand that you want to add that company. 
  6. After you made the request, type “done” or “submit” to complete the request. 
  7. If you no longer want to continue, say “cancel” and the bot will stop right away.

TIP: The bot will tell you it is in "company addition mode" and it will not engage to any requests other than telling it you're done submitting, or you're cancelling the operation.

Kruncher will take 15-20 minutes to generate your report. You will also get a notification once your report is generated.

Tips & Tricks

If you’re not sure what to say, just send the company website. Kruncher will take it from there. 

If the bot isn’t responding in a group or channel, check that it has permission to chat there. 

Adding a company through a direct message keeps things private. 

Adding it through a group or channel lets your team see the process.

IMPORTANT: Kruncher has no way of authorizing people in external applications. When you invite Kruncher Bot into a Slack channel, everyone in that channel will also get notifications and updates sent by Kruncher Bot, even if they are not part of your Kruncher workspace.
