Communication

Connect Slack to Chatsy

Review the two configured outbound tools. The connection can be set up, but an agent cannot run these actions yet or receive Slack conversations.

  • Route these requests to your team

    Until agent execution passes end-to-end testing, set up human handoff so a person handles the requests these tools would cover.

  • Connects with OAuth

    You approve access in Slack. Your Slack password never reaches Chatsy.

Scope

What is configured

Action templates

  • List channelsReadsList up to 200 public and private channels visible to the connected Slack app.
  • Send messageWritesSend a plain-text message to a selected channel.

No inbound Slack messages, mentions, slash commands, or thread replies.

Agent execution is unavailable. The templates exist, but the agent runtime cannot authenticate to their provider routes. Do not treat these actions as usable until that boundary is fixed and tested end to end.

Setup guide

Connect and review Slack

Connect the service and review the configured tools.

  1. 01

    Connect the service

    In Integrations, choose Slack and approve the requested workspace permissions.

  2. 02

    Review the configured tools

    The connection creates provider tool records for existing agents. Review their methods, fields, and enabled state.

Limits and fit

Where this setup can fail, and when another path fits better.

Common failure modes

  • The credential is invalid, expired, or later revoked.
  • An enabled tool is asked to perform an action outside the fields and methods it supports.
  • The agent runtime calls a provider route without the required session and the request is rejected.

Not a fit for

  • Workflows that need actions not listed on this page.
  • Requests that should always be reviewed by a person before an external action runs.
  • Agent workflows that depend on these configured tools before the runtime authentication boundary is fixed and tested end to end.

FAQ

Common questions

No. The configured Slack templates are outbound only: one lists channels and one is intended to send a message. Chatsy does not receive Slack conversations.

No. The current send action accepts a channel and message text, but no thread identifier.
