# Slack actions

> Read permitted channels and send workspace or thread messages.

Canonical: https://valuechat.app/docs/slack
Category: Integrations & API

## Before you start

Use a test channel or sample conversation first. Confirm the result before applying the setup to production traffic.

## How it works

1. Connect. Use the configured Slack app authorization and invite its bot to the intended channels. Existing native notification integrations remain separate from agent app tools.

2. Actions. List accessible channels, read channel history and send a message, optionally targeting a thread timestamp.

3. Permissions. The provider scopes and bot membership define which channels are accessible. This initial connector has no extra per-channel resource picker; restrict the connected Slack installation and agent actions accordingly.

4. Messages. A send action posts to a real Slack destination. Validate its channel/thread and do not expose private customer context to a broader audience.

5. Setup. A card in the catalog does not prove that this installation has completed the required Slack developer-app configuration or consent.

## What to verify

- The expected channel, conversation, contact or execution is visible.
- The assignment matches the configured routing.
- No customer-facing message claims an action that failed.
- Activity or execution history explains the result.
