Workspace Setup
Before your team can collaborate or deploy agents, your Telex workspace needs to be properly structured. This page walks through the key elements of workspace setup — from naming and branding to channel organization and foundational roles.
Naming and Branding
Give your workspace a clear identity:
- Workspace Name: Choose something recognizable to your team or department.
- Logo and Description: Add a visual and short description to personalize your space and help users orient themselves.
Channel Structure
Channels are the backbone of collaboration in Telex. Organize them based on:
- Teams (e.g. #marketing, #support)
- Projects (e.g. #launch-campaign, #product-feedback)
- Functions (e.g. #announcements, #agent-testing)
Decide early which channels will host agents and how they’ll contribute.
Role Assignment
Assign initial roles to key team members:
- Admins: Can configure workspace settings, manage roles, and create agents.
- Contributors: Can interact with agents and participate in channels.
- Members: Can view and engage, but may have limited creation permissions.
Refer to Roles & Permissions for a full breakdown.
Workspace Defaults
Set up workspace-wide preferences:
- Notification settings
- Default channel visibility
- Agent interaction permissions
These defaults help streamline onboarding and ensure consistency across teams.
