Slack integration

Connect Slack so Metawurks can send messages, access channels, and help you collaborate with your team—all inside the chat.

What the Slack connector does

The Slack connector lets Metawurks work with your Slack workspace inside the app. Once connected, you can ask the AI to send messages, list channels, search conversations, and collaborate with your team. Your credentials are never stored in plain text; we use OAuth and store tokens securely per account.

How to connect

  1. 1Open Knowledge Sources (upload icon in the sidebar) and go to the Integrations tab.
  2. 2Click the Slack card.
  3. 3On the Slack detail page, click Connect.
  4. 4You'll be redirected to Slack's sign-in and consent screen. Sign in with your Slack workspace.
  5. 5Review the permissions and approve access. Metawurks will then complete the connection and show Slack as connected.

Need a custom connector?

Want to connect a different messaging platform? You can add custom MCP connectors from the Custom tab in Integrations. Enter your MCP server URL to connect any compatible workspace.

Using it safely
