Slack Bot

Connect Slack Bot from Integrations in the Workforce AI dashboard, then ask your AI employee to use it as part of a job. The action reference below is normalized from the current Slack Bot toolkit reference into plain business language.

Good first jobs

Workforce AI applies its approval rules to actions that create, change, send, publish, move, or remove information. When an action needs approval, you will see it in Approvals before it runs.

How to ask for the work

Use the result you want and the record or audience involved:

Using Slack Bot, summarize a channel or conversation. Show me the result here.

For recurring work, add the timing, the information to use, and the finish line. You can save a successful job as a schedule when it should run on a regular rhythm.

Common questions

Does Workforce AI need my Slack Bot password?

Use the provider sign-in or connection screen shown by Workforce AI. OAuth providers keep your password with the provider.

Why is a proposed action waiting?

Open Approvals in Workforce AI. Review the complete proposal, then approve or deny it.

How do I switch to another Slack Bot account?

Open Integrations, remove or reconnect Slack Bot, and choose the account you want during the provider sign-in.

Can I use Slack Bot in a scheduled job?

Yes. Once the connection and job work the way you want, tell your AI employee when the job should run.
