Sign up on the Macroscope website and follow the steps below.

​
1. Connect Your GitHub Repos

After signing up, you’ll be directed to GitHub to authorize Macroscope and select which repos to connect.
Inactive repos are fine to include. Macroscope only processes the last two weeks of commits plus new activity going forward. You can remove access later.
If your company uses GitHub Enterprise Managed Users, follow this guide.

​
2. Activate Your Subscription

Activate your subscription to enable code review immediately. Adjust code review settings here.

​
3. Set Up Status

To use the Macroscope Agent or API, you’ll need to configure Status. Click on Status in the left sidebar, add a Product Overview and choose your Weekly Report Cadence. Once the backfill is complete, you’ll be able to use those features! Status also gives you an overview of the team’s activity on a weekly basis on the home page.

​
4. Connect Slack

A Slack admin connects Macroscope to your workspace. This unlocks the agent in Slack and code activity subscriptions.
Who can interact with Macroscope in Slack?By default, anyone in Slack can @mention Macroscope, but they’ll be asked to log in first. Only users with GitHub/Macroscope access can interact. To allow anyone in Slack to ask questions (even without a Macroscope account), contact support.

​
5. Connect Integrations

Set up integrations in Settings → Connections to give the agent access to more tools. The more you connect, the better the answers and the more actions Macroscope can take.

​
6. Get Direct Support

Open a shared Slack channel with the Macroscope team via Settings → Support → Slack Support Channel for questions and feedback.

​
What Happens Next?

Once connected, Macroscope automatically:
  • Backfills data from your GitHub repos
  • Generates plain-language summaries for commits and PRs in GitHub
  • Reviews PRs for correctness issues and suggests fixes
  • Sends weekly activity reports
Admin features (billing, managing Areas, productivity settings, email digest recipients) are limited to GitHub organization admins. Macroscope inherits permissions from GitHub.
