# Turn on built-in contexts like Email and Slack

Source: https://help.contextli.com/articles/enable-built-in-contexts

Built-in contexts such as **Email**, **Slack** and **LinkedIn** are off until you switch them on. Open the **Dashboard**, find the context under **Your Contexts** and click its toggle; it then shows under **Selected Contexts** on the Contexts page and works with its own hotkey.

## Turn on a built-in context

1. Click **Dashboard** in the sidebar.
2. Under **Your Contexts**, find the context you want. Popular ones are marked **Popular**.
3. Click its toggle so it turns on.
4. Click **Manage** to open the **Contexts** page. The context now appears under **Selected Contexts**, with its hotkey.

## Default hotkeys

| Context | Mac | Windows | Linux |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slack | Cmd+Option+1 | Alt+Shift+1 | Ctrl+Alt+1 |
| Email | Cmd+Option+2 | Alt+Shift+2 | Ctrl+Alt+2 |
| LinkedIn | Cmd+Option+3 | Alt+Shift+3 | Ctrl+Alt+3 |

To change a hotkey, click the context card on the Contexts page, set a new **Global hotkey** and save.

## Good to know

- **Email** has screenshot capture on by default, so it can use what is on your screen (for example the email you are replying to). On Mac, the first use asks for Screen Recording permission. See [Give the AI screen context with screenshot capture](/articles/use-screen-context-with-screenshot-capture).
- Email, Slack and LinkedIn can switch on automatically when you are in a matching app. See [Pick a context automatically based on the app you are in](/articles/auto-activate-a-context-by-app).
- To turn a context off again, click its toggle on the Dashboard or on its card on the Contexts page.

## Don't see the one you need?

- Click **Add New Context** on the Contexts page and pick a template under **Start from** (for example **Meeting notes** or **Bug report**).
- Or click **Browse Library** on the Contexts page to find 200+ ready-made contexts and import one.
