Slack Integration

Connect Codegen to your Slack workspace to enable seamless communication between agents and your team.

Capabilities

The Slack integration allows agents to interact within your designated channels:

• Send Messages: Post updates, ask questions, report results, and notify team members.
• Read Messages: (Optional) Agents can be configured to read messages in specific channels to gather context or respond to requests (requires careful permission setup).
• User Mentions: Tag specific users or groups for notifications.

How Agents Use Slack

Agents use Slack primarily for communication and notifications:

• Progress Updates: Informing a channel or user when a task starts, encounters an issue, or is completed.
• Requesting Feedback: Asking for clarification or input on a specific implementation detail or ambiguity.
• Sharing Results: Posting links to created PRs, summaries of changes, or errors encountered.
• Notifications: Alerting the team about build failures, successful deployments, or critical issues identified.

Installation

Add the Codegen Slack App to your workspace to enable agent communication.
