Slack can be a team-facing surface for oper8r workflows. Use it when people need to ask for account context, trigger a workflow, coordinate review, or bring oper8r into an existing operating channel.
- Ask for account briefs from a channel.
- Route RFP or security questions to the right reviewers.
- Summarize a workflow result back into Slack.
- Coordinate internal follow-up after a customer call.
- Use slash commands or app mentions for repeatable workflows.
Slack access should be granted only for the workspace and channels needed for the workflow.
Typical permissions include:
- Read channel and group messages where the app is installed.
- Send messages and workflow responses.
- Read user and team metadata for attribution.
- Use slash commands where enabled.
oper8r should not expose Slack tokens, raw connection IDs, or unrelated private messages in agent outputs.
- Confirm the Slack workspace and channels in scope.
- Install or connect the oper8r Slack app.
- Approve the requested permissions.
- Choose the workflow surface: app mention, slash command, channel workflow, or internal notification.
- Test in a private implementation channel.
- Expand to production channels after review.
