Create a Space

A Space in MeetAndy represents one project on your team — usually one product, codebase, or work-stream. Each Space is connected to a GitHub repository (or a Jira project), a Slack channel, and the people working on it.

You'll typically create one Space per project. Most teams have a few; large teams may have dozens.

Anyone with the Manager or Admin role can create a Space.

Create your first Space

1. Open the Spaces hub from the sidebar.
2. Click Import space in the top-right.

The create flow has two steps.

Step 1: Fetch project details

1. Choose an Integration Type — usually GitHub, GitLab, or Jira.
2. Pick the specific repository (for GitHub or GitLab) or project (for Jira) that this Space represents.
   • If you don't see a repository listed, check that it's included in your GitHub or GitLab installation.
   • Repositories already linked to another Space show up labeled Imported as: [Space name] — you can't link the same repo to two Spaces.
3. Click Fetch Project Details. MeetAndy reads the project metadata from GitHub, GitLab, or Jira to pre-fill the next step.

Step 2: Name the Space

The form pre-fills the Space name and description from the project metadata. You can edit either.

1. Adjust the name if needed (this is what shows up in the sidebar).
2. Edit the description so teammates know what this Space is for.
3. Click Create.

You'll be taken to the new Space's home page.

What happens next

Creating a Space is just the first part. To make Andy useful in this Space, you need to tell it which Slack channel to post in and (if applicable) which Jira project to track.
