Slack Integration Skill

When to use

When the user wants their voice agent to send notifications, alerts, or summaries to a Slack channel during or after a phone call. Common triggers:

• "notify my team on Slack when someone calls"
• "send a summary to Slack after each call"
• "alert the sales channel"

What to do

1. Check connection via check_connection("slack").

2. If not connected: Use secret("slack") in tool scripts. The system will automatically emit the correct action card based on the platform configuration. Do NOT emit action cards manually.

3. Discover channels (Slack supports auto-discovery):

   • api_call("slack", "GET", "/conversations.list?types=public_channel,private_channel&limit=100") → list channels with IDs

4. Use the real channel ID in the tool config.

5. If discovery fails, ask the user for the channel name and help them find the ID (right-click channel → View channel details → scroll to bottom).

Example tool config

{
  "name": "slack.post_message",
  "description": "Send a call summary notification to the Slack sales channel",
  "params": [
    {"name": "channel", "description": "Slack channel ID", "type": "string", "required": true},
    {"name": "text", "description": "Message text summarizing the call", "type": "string", "required": true}
  ],
  "script": "let key = secret('slack');\nlet resp = http_post_h('https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage', {channel: channel, text: text}, {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + key, 'Content-Type': 'application/json'});\nif (resp.status < 200 || resp.status >= 300) { throw new Error(`Slack ${resp.status}: ${resp.body}`); }\nlet data = JSON.parse(resp.body);\nif (!data.ok) { throw new Error(`Slack API error: ${data.error || 'unknown_error'}`); }\nreturn 'Message sent.';",
  "side_effect": true
}

Rules

• NEVER hardcode bot tokens in tool headers
• NEVER ask for tokens in chat
• Always use secret("slack") for credentials
• PREFER using api_call to discover channel IDs instead of asking
• For script tools, treat non-2xx HTTP responses as failures and throw using resp.status/resp.body; for APIs like Slack that may return HTTP 200 on business errors, parse the response body and throw when ok is false
