# Slack (Coming Soon)

The **Slack** integration is designed to let Darcy Chat and AI agents work with your Slack workspace — listing channels, reviewing recent conversations, finding the right discussion context, posting updates, and replying in threads through natural conversation.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Bring Slack context into the task**: Say *"Check the latest discussion in #customer-success and post a summary with next steps,"* and Darcy can review the conversation, synthesize the context, and send the update back to Slack.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Coming soon**: Slack is planned for release under **User Configuration → Integrations**.
{% endhint %}

## Overview

| Capability            | Function                                     | Business Impact                    |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Natural Language**  | Work with Slack through chat                 | Fewer context switches             |
| **Channel Context**   | List channels and review recent conversation | Find the right thread faster       |
| **Posting & Replies** | Post messages and reply in threads           | Keep teams aligned from DarcyIQ    |
| **Agent & Workflow**  | Available to AI agents and AI Workflows      | Automate updates and notifications |

## What You Can Do

| Action              | Natural Language Example                         | Result                        |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------- |
| **List channels**   | "Show the Slack channels I can use"              | Accessible channels           |
| **Read messages**   | "Show the latest messages in #sales"             | Recent channel history        |
| **Find context**    | "Find the Slack discussion about the QBR deck"   | Relevant conversation context |
| **Post update**     | "Post this launch summary to #marketing"         | A new channel message         |
| **Reply in thread** | "Reply to that thread with the revised timeline" | A threaded response           |

{% hint style="info" %}
Slack access follows the channels and threads the connected Slack app can access. If the app cannot see a channel, Darcy cannot read or post there.
{% endhint %}

## Connecting Slack

Connection will use a standard Slack OAuth flow. DarcyIQ will never see your Slack password — authentication happens on Slack's own consent screen.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open Integrations** Go to **User Configuration → Integrations**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Find Slack** Locate the **Slack** integration and click **Connect**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Sign in to Slack** You're redirected to Slack's sign-in and consent screen. Choose the workspace you want to connect.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Approve the DarcyIQ connection** Review the requested access and approve the app. Depending on your Slack settings, a workspace admin may need to approve the installation.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

To revoke access later, disconnect the integration in DarcyIQ and/or remove the DarcyIQ app from your Slack workspace.

## Using Slack in Chat & Agents

Once available and connected, Slack will be available wherever Darcy can use tools:

* **Darcy Chat** — review channel context, summarize discussions, and post updates in plain language.
* **AI Agents** — agents can gather discussion context or notify a team as part of a larger task.
* **AI Workflows** — automate recurring updates such as posting summaries, reminders, or status changes to Slack.

## Permissions & Security

| Aspect                | Detail                                                                        |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Scope**             | Channels and threads the connected Slack app is allowed to access             |
| **Auth method**       | OAuth — you approve DarcyIQ in Slack; your password is never shared           |
| **Posting**           | Messages are posted only when you explicitly ask Darcy to post or reply       |
| **Workspace control** | Slack admins can review, approve, or restrict the app                         |
| **Revoking**          | Disconnect any time from Settings → Integrations or your Slack admin settings |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.darcyiq.com/build/integration-overview/enterprise/slack-coming-soon.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
