Slack

The Slack integration connects an agent to a Slack workspace as its own bot. People message the agent in Slack the way they’d message a teammate, and the agent replies in the same conversation.

What the agent can do

Section titled “What the agent can do”

Once Slack is connected, the agent can:

  • Post and reply in channels it’s a member of.
  • Hold threaded conversations — replies stay in the thread they belong to.
  • Answer direct messages one-to-one.
  • Respond to slash commands so people can invoke the agent explicitly.

Because identity is per-agent, the agent shows up in Slack as its own bot user with its own name and avatar — not a shared, workspace-wide Alfe bot. If you connect two agents, each joins as a separate bot.

Connecting

Section titled “Connecting”

Add the Slack integration to your agent from the dashboard or with alfe integration install slack, then authorize your Slack workspace when prompted. The workspace authorization is a one-time OAuth step; see How connecting works. After the bot is authorized, invite it to the channels you want it in.

Slack is a free integration — you only pay for the agent’s underlying usage, such as model tokens, which draws from your credit pool.
