Talk to your agent in Slack

Connect Slack​

Open your agent and click Publish, then choose Slack. Use the Agenta Slack app with Add to Slack, or connect your own Slack app with the manifest we provide. Add to Slack appears only when the deployment has the Agenta Slack app configured. On a self-hosted deployment without it, connect your own app.

Each connection answers as one agent. You can see every connection in your project in Settings → Channels, and change which agent a bot answers as.

Work with the agent in a thread​

Mention the agent in a channel, a thread, or a direct message. It replies in the thread and remembers what was said there.

In threads and group conversations, the agent only answers when you address it. Messages between teammates don't start a new run.

When the agent needs approval for a tool, it asks in the thread and you answer with a click.

The agent reacts to your message with 👀 when it starts and replaces it with ✅ when it has finished and posted every part of its answer. If a run fails or is cancelled, the 👀 is removed.
