Slack

Slack is a place to talk to your assistants without leaving the tool your team already uses. Mention an assistant in a channel or message it directly. It posts progress in the thread, and Approve and Reject buttons appear there when work needs you.

At a glance#

What assistants can do#

Setup (when it opens)#

1. Create a Slack app from the ready-made StellarFirm app description at stellarfirm.ai/slack-app-manifest.json (in Slack, choose Create New App, then From a manifest).
2. Create an app-level token with permission to connect, then install the app to your Slack workspace.
3. Copy the two tokens Slack gives you: the workspace token and the app-level token.
4. Open Integrations and pick Slack, paste both tokens, and press Connect.

Permissions#

The ready-made app description asks Slack for only what is needed. In plain words:

• Read messages where the app is mentioned, and direct messages sent to it.
• Write messages, so assistants can reply and post progress.
• Use buttons in messages, so you can Approve or Reject in the thread.
• Connect with the app-level token, so no public address is needed on your side.

Good to know#

• Slack does not change what needs your Approve. Anything that sends, deploys, charges, publishes, or creates still waits for you, or for what your house rules allow.
• Your token stays with your StellarFirm workspace and is never shown back to you. The page shows only that it is connected.
• Start with a private channel for your assistants so your team sees only what you intend.
• Until Slack opens, do the same things in the StellarFirm chat and on the Approvals page.
