Slack
Connect Slack to post messages, manage channels, and trigger workflows from Slack events.
Slack is the most complete integration: it works as both an action (your workflow does something in Slack) and a trigger (a Slack event starts your workflow).
Connect
Slack uses team OAuth, so you authorize once and Trodo gets a bot token (and a user token).
Open Integrations in the app and choose Slack.
Authorize the Trodo app in your Slack workspace. Slack asks you to approve the requested scopes for the bot and user.
Done. The connection is saved as a credential. Any Slack node in a workflow can now use it.
Triggers
A workflow can start from a Slack event, for example an app mention or other workspace events you subscribe to. Slack event delivery is fully wired, so these fire in real time.
Use a Slack trigger to build a bot: mention Trodo in a channel, run an AI agent that answers from your data, and reply in the thread.
Actions
Slack actions cover the common surfaces:
| Area | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Messages | Send, update, delete, and schedule messages; reply in a thread; send ephemeral and direct messages. |
| Channels | Create, archive, list, join, and invite to channels; set topic and purpose. |
| Files | Upload and share files. |
| Reactions and stars | Add reactions; star and unstar items. |
| Users | Look up users and user groups. |
Use it
- Post an alert to a channel when a pattern trigger detects an error spike.
- Reply to an app mention with an AI agent's answer.
- Open a thread and update it as a long-running workflow progresses.
