Setting Up a Test Environment for Haekka
Before implementing Haekka across your entire organization, you may want to test it in a controlled environment. This guide will walk you through creating a separate Slack workspace for testing Haekka without affecting your main company workspace.
Why Create a Separate Test Workspace?
Haekka accounts are directly tied to specific Slack workspaces. Creating a separate test workspace allows you to:
- Explore Haekka's features without impacting your main company Slack
- Test configurations in a controlled environment
- Train administrators before full deployment
