Actions
What your agents can do in Slack bot
6 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 3
Look things up. Nothing changes.
List channels
Lists the workspace's public channels and the private channels the bot is in, without archived ones: ID, name, topic, purpose, member count and whether the bot is a member.
Read recent messages in a channel
Reads a channel's most recent messages, newest first, by channel ID: each with its author's user ID, text, ts, and thread reply count.
Find a person by email
Finds a workspace member by email address: their user ID (to mention them as <@U123> or to message them), name, real name, time zone and profile.
Write 3
Create, change or send.
Post a message
Posts a message as the bot to a channel, by its ID (C…) or name (#general).
Reply in a thread
Replies in the thread under a message, given the channel ID and the parent message's ts (from Read recent messages or a posted message).
Add a reaction
Adds an emoji reaction as the bot to a message, given the channel ID, the message's ts, and the emoji name without colons (thumbsup, eyes, white_check_mark, or a custom emoji's name).
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Sign in with Slack bot and approve access (OAuth).
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Slack bot data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list channels, read recent messages in a channel or find a person by email in Slack bot, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Slack bot
Have the agent post a message or reply in a thread in Slack bot as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Work from your CRM
Give one agent HubSpot and Slack bot: it can search contacts in HubSpot and post a message in Slack bot in the same run.
