What you can do with Slack from chat

Triage from chat

Ask in plain English. The agent pulls up the right Slack thread, channel, or inbox so you stay in one window.

Draft, then send

The agent writes a message in Slack, shows you the draft, and sends once you say go.

Context in one place

Message history, who's involved, and recent activity from Slack sit next to the work you're doing.

FAQ

Quick questions

How do I connect Slack to my AI agent?

Install ClawLink, open the dashboard, click Connect next to Slack, and finish the hosted flow. Your agent can call Slack from the next message. Two minutes, total.

Is there a Slack MCP server I can use?

Yes. ClawLink exposes Slack as 36 tools your agent calls through a hosted MCP-compatible runtime. You don't run a local server or edit a config file. The tools are there the moment you connect.

Do I need Slack API credentials?

You'll enter your Slack credentials once during setup. ClawLink maps them onto every tool call after.

How much does it cost?

Your first integration is free, plus a 14-day trial of the full catalog. Paid plans unlock the rest of the library.

Can I set this up from the terminal instead of the dashboard?

Yes. Run npx -y @useclawlink/cli login, then npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect slack. The first opens a browser to sign in to ClawLink. The second opens a browser to authorize Slack. No API keys to create. Works with OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any agent that runs shell commands.
