Slack
Let the AINexLayer agent search and read your Slack workspace
What it does
Connects AINexLayer to your Slack workspace so the agent can search channels and read message threads on your behalf — in real time, when you ask in chat.
Nothing is copied into AINexLayer in the background. The agent queries Slack live each time you send a message that needs it.
How it works
Slack is an external connector. You connect once through the Connectors dialog. It does not appear in API Playground — that area is for native scrapers only.
After connecting, open Chat and ask about messages in a channel, thread, or date range. The agent searches your workspace and returns what it finds.
Connect
- Open Connectors in your workspace
- Choose Slack
- Click Connect and authorize your Slack workspace
- Confirm the connector shows as active on the Active tab
If your token expires, the connector card will prompt you to Reconnect.
Use in chat
Open Chat, type @, and pick Slack from the mention list. Then ask your question.
The @ tag tells the agent to search Slack. Without it, a normal question may not use the connector.
The agent can search public channels, private channels you belong to, and direct messages you have access to. Narrow with a channel name, date range, or keyword. Start with one channel and a recent time window before searching broadly.
