Slack Integration

Operator AI integrates directly with Slack, allowing your team to receive, manage, and reply to conversations without leaving your Slack workspace.


πŸ’¬ What Does the Slack Integration Do?

With Slack + Operator AI, you can:

  • Receive new conversation notifications in real-time inside Slack.

  • Reply to customers directly from Slack (if configured).

  • Assign conversations or escalate urgent issues to Slack channels.

  • Use Slack workflows to automate follow-ups or reminders.

βœ… Brings your team’s favorite messaging platform into your Operator AI workflow.


πŸ› οΈ How to Connect Slack to Operator AI

  1. Log into your Operator AI Dashboard.

  2. Go to Settings β†’ Integrations β†’ Slack.

  3. Click Connect Slack Workspace.

  4. Authorize Operator AI to access your Slack workspace (OAuth).

  5. Choose the Slack channels you want to integrate.

  6. Map Slack channels to Operator AI departments (optional but recommended).

  7. Save settings.

βœ… Setup takes less than 5 minutes and requires admin permissions in Slack.

Why It Matters

Avoid Slack overload and channel fatigue.

Set up channel-specific automations

Different teams = different priorities.

Combine with Slack Workflow Builder

Monitor Slack notification noise

Review settings monthly to stay focused.

Train your team on Slack reply etiquette

Keep internal vs external messaging clear.

βœ… Smart Slack integrations create faster, more coordinated teams.
