Slack + Foldr Integration
Slack is the default team-chat app for ~200k businesses. Foldr has a native Slack app: /foldr-share uploads the attached file and drops a short link into the channel, and Slack webhooks fire when files are downloaded.

Open the Foldr Slack integration
Go to foldr.space/integrations/slack and click "Connect Slack". Sign in with your Slack account when prompted.
