Slack Work App
Copy page
Connect your Inkeep agents to Slack.
The Slack Work App brings your Inkeep agents directly into Slack. Team members can talk to agents by mentioning @Inkeep or by using /inkeep commands.
The Slack integration is only available for Inkeep Enterprise.
Key features
@Inkeepand/inkeep— Mention@Inkeepor use/inkeepcommands in a channel or your DMs to talk to an Inkeep agent.- Channel configuration — Set a workspace-wide default agent, or assign specific agents to individual channels
How it works
- A user sends a message via
@Inkeep,/inkeep, a message shortcut, or a direct message - The Inkeep API verifies the user's identity and resolves the configured agent
- The agent processes the message (with optional thread context) and streams a response
- The agent replies in a thread (
@Inkeep, message shortcuts, DMs) or at the channel root (/inkeep)
Which agent handles my request?
The app uses an agent resolution priority to decide which agent responds:
| Priority | Source | Set by | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Channel default | Admin, via the dashboard | Only that channel |
| 2 | Workspace default | Admin, via the dashboard | All channels without a channel default |
If no agent is configured at either level, the bot prompts you to ask an admin to set one up in the dashboard.
Use /inkeep status in any channel to see which agent is active for that channel and how it was resolved.
