Key Capabilities
Workspace-Wide Integration
Install OpenClaw once and it becomes available across your entire Slack workspace. Every channel, direct message, and group conversation can tap into your AI assistant without per-user setup.
Dedicated App Home
OpenClaw provides a personalised App Home tab for each user. View conversation history, adjust personal preferences, and pin frequently used prompts without leaving Slack.
Global Shortcuts
Trigger your assistant from anywhere in Slack using global or message-level shortcuts. Highlight a paragraph and send it to OpenClaw for summarisation, translation, or rewriting in one click.
Workflow Builder Steps
Add OpenClaw as a custom step inside Slack Workflow Builder. Automate repetitive tasks like triaging support tickets, drafting responses, or routing messages to the right channel based on content.
Channel-Based Messaging
Invite the bot to specific channels where it listens and responds contextually. It tracks conversation threads, remembers earlier context, and keeps its replies inside the correct thread to reduce noise.
Enterprise Grid Support
For organisations on Slack Enterprise Grid, OpenClaw can be deployed across multiple workspaces from a single VPS. Centralised configuration and shared memory make managing dozens of workspaces straightforward.
How to Connect
Install the Slack App
Click the Add to Slack button on the OpenClaw dashboard. Approve the requested OAuth scopes and choose which workspace receives the app. The entire process takes about thirty seconds.
Configure Channels and Shortcuts
Select the channels the bot should join, enable or disable global shortcuts, and optionally add OpenClaw as a Workflow Builder step for your existing automations.
Collaborate with Your Team
Mention the bot in any connected channel, use a shortcut, or visit App Home. OpenClaw responds with full awareness of your conversation history and workspace context.
