Communication & Meetings

What the Slack connector can do

Route Slack channel messages into Type so your agents can read, summarize, and respond in-thread.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Slack once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

Representative actions

  • Read messages from Slack channels you choose

    Mirror messages from any selected Slack channel into a Type channel so agents have full conversational context.

  • Post threaded replies from Type

    Send agent or human replies back into the originating Slack thread so the conversation stays unified.

  • Map Slack channels to Type channels

  • Trigger automations on new messages

    Fire Type tasks or agents whenever a new message lands in a mapped Slack channel.
