Connecting Slack to Autron (Settings → Integrations)
Connect your Slack workspace so your agent can post routine digests to a channel — and answer you there when you mention it or DM it. How to connect from Settings → Integrations, add Slack to a routine, what Autron can access, and how to disconnect.
Slack is one of the delivery channels an Agent routine can send its results to. Connect your workspace once, and any routine can post its run digest straight into a Slack channel — alongside (or instead of) the in-app transcript and email digest.
Connect your Slack workspace
- In the Autron Agent app, open Settings → Integrations.
- On the Slack row, click Add to Slack.
- Slack asks you to review the permissions and pick your workspace. Approve, and you’re returned to Autron with the workspace marked Connected.
That’s it — the connection is saved for your whole company, and the Integrations page shows the connected workspace’s name so you can confirm which Slack you’re linked to.
Send a routine’s results to Slack
Once Slack is connected, add it to any routine:
- Open the routine (or create a new one) and find the Channels section.
- Click Add channel → Slack channel.
- Pick a channel from the list, or paste a channel ID. You can add more than one.
After every meaningful run, Autron posts a digest card to each Slack channel — the run status, a short summary, and links to open the full transcript and the routine. Use send test to post a sample first.
What Autron can do in Slack
Slack began as a one-way delivery channel and is now a two-way one — your agent posts routine digests and answers when you talk to it:
- Post messages to the channels you pick (and to public channels without an invite).
- Answer you when you mention it in a channel or send it a direct message, and reply in threads — the same agent you get in the app.
- List channels and read the workspace name — to populate the channel picker and show which workspace is connected.
Your agent reads the messages addressed to it — a mention, a direct message, or a reply in a thread it is part of. It does not read channels it has not been invited to, search your workspace, or look at conversations it was not included in. Your agent works the same way over email, with its own address: see Email your agent.
Disconnect Slack
In Settings → Integrations, open the connected Slack row and choose Disconnect. This revokes Autron’s access to the workspace. Any routine that was delivering to a Slack channel simply skips Slack after that — its other channels (in-app, email, custom webhook) are unaffected. Reconnect any time to resume.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | What to do |
|---|---|
| Slack shows as Not connected, or a routine stopped posting to Slack | The workspace authorization was removed or expired. Reconnect from Settings → Integrations → Add to Slack. |
| A private channel isn’t in the picker | Invite the bot to that channel — /invite @Autron — then click Refresh in the picker. |
| The channel list is empty | Click Refresh in the picker. If it stays empty, the workspace may have been disconnected — reconnect it. |
| There’s no Add to Slack button | Slack isn’t enabled on your Autron environment yet. It is not restricted by plan — if the row shows Unavailable, that is on our side, not something you need to upgrade for. |
