Slack

Install a node as a Slack app so it responds to mentions and DMs in your workspace.

Status: beta. Available to users who request it in-app.

What you get

• A Slack app identity installable in any Slack workspace you admin.
• The node responds to @mentions and direct messages.
• Slash commands for structured invocations (e.g. /cmo summary).
• Attachments (files, images) are staged into the workspace’s artifact shelf.
• Thread-awareness — the node sees the full thread when mentioned inside one.

Typical use cases

• Team ops — the operations node posts daily stand-ups to #ops-daily.
• Sales triage — mention the sales-vp node in #inbound-leads to qualify and draft outreach.
• On-call — have the CTO node respond to alert channels with a first triage.

Setup

1. Workspace → Settings → Channels → Add Slack.
2. Click Install the app — redirected to Slack’s OAuth consent.
3. Pick the workspace + default channel.
4. In Direktor, assign the app to a node.
5. In Slack, try /invite @your-node in a channel, then @your-node hello.

Message model

A Slack mention or DM becomes a chat message to the node. Same skill-lookup + instruction-following pipeline runs.

Slash commands: /node-role command --args maps to a pre-registered skill invocation. Configure in Channels → Slack → Commands.

Limitations today (beta)

• One node per Slack workspace in the current beta (multi-node coming).
• Rate-limited to Slack’s app tier limits (typically 1 message/sec).
• No Canvas or Workflow integrations yet.
