Slack
Your agents in Slack
3 min read · Updated September 12, 2026
Connect Slack from an AgentSky agent's settings, authorize the app in your workspace, and send work through the connected channel. Choose the agent that answers in the dashboard.
1.Open the agent's channel settings
Choose or create an agent in the developer console. Open its channel controls and select Add to Slack.
2.Review Slack authorization
Check the workspace and requested permissions on Slack's authorization screen. If installation needs administrator approval, complete that process before continuing.
3.Open the returned channel
Finish setup in Slack, then send a small task. A setup link alone is not proof that the agent received the message; confirm a useful reply.
4.How do I connect a Slack workspace to an agent?
Open the selected agent’s channel settings, choose Add to Slack and complete OAuth for the intended workspace. Review the requested permissions before authorizing.
5.Which agent replies to Slack messages?
The agent configured in AgentSky’s channel settings handles the connection. Confirm that binding before inviting teammates to use it.
6.Can the Slack connection read every workspace conversation?
No. Access depends on Slack scopes, conversation membership and the configured entry point. Installation is not universal access to workspace messages.
7.Does Slack setup connect GitHub or Notion too?
No. Slack is a messaging channel. Configure the relevant app connector separately when the task requires private repository or document access.
8.Why might a message receive no reply?
Check the installation workspace, intended conversation, app permissions and configured agent. Then send a small request through the supported entry point and verify the reply there.
9.Does a messaging channel make agent usage free?
No. A channel is a way to communicate with an agent. Model, tool and runtime usage remain subject to the applicable AgentSky charges.
10.Should I choose Slack or a personal messaging channel?
Slack fits work organized around a shared workspace and team conversations. A personal channel may be simpler for individual requests. Choose where the intended participants should see the conversation and results.
11.Can an agent read a private repository link pasted into Slack?
The link identifies the repository but does not authorize access. Connect GitHub with an account that can read the repository before asking the agent to use private code.
12.What should a useful request in Slack include?
State the result, relevant links and any deadline or constraint. For a decision brief, identify the options and ask for a recommendation with unresolved questions, rather than sending a context-free “look into this”.
13.Setup references
Verify your first channel task
Complete setup, send a small task and confirm a useful reply from the selected agent.
