Schedule via Slack

What it does

Adds Slack as an inbound channel for your scheduling agent. Direct messages sent to your bot user are treated the same way as inbound emails: the agent reads them, drafts a reply, and drops the proposed reply into your approval queue. When you approve, the reply posts back into Slack — in the same DM or thread the original message came from.

Slack runs alongside email, not instead of it. If you already had the agent watching a Gmail inbox, it keeps watching email and also starts watching Slack DMs. Messages from both channels share one approval queue.

This is a behind-the-scenes capability — there is no dedicated panel or sidebar entry for it. Once Slack is wired up through Chat Providers, it just works.

Settings

This add-on has no settings of its own. The Slack token, workspace binding, and any per-account options live in the Chat Providers add-on. Configure Slack there.

Integrations

  • Chat Providers (required). This add-on calls into Chat Providers to fetch Slack messages and to send replies. Without Chat Providers installed and connected to a Slack workspace, no Slack messages flow in and the add-on stays quiet.

Known limits

  • Direct messages only. Group channels and public channels are not watched. If someone wants to schedule via Slack, they have to DM the bot directly.

  • Polling cadence matches email. Slack messages aren’t real-time push — they’re pulled on the same interval the agent uses for email. Expect up to a minute or two of lag.

  • One Slack workspace at a time. The active workspace is the one configured in Chat Providers. Connecting a second workspace would require updating Chat Providers, not this add-on.

  • No standalone Slack panel. There’s no UI surface specific to this add-on today. You manage everything through the Chat Providers settings and the existing approval queue.

  • Quiet failure when Chat Providers is missing. If Chat Providers is uninstalled, disabled, or hasn’t been authorized for Slack, this add-on reports no messages — it doesn’t surface a visible error. Check Chat Providers if Slack messages stop appearing.
