Slack Integration

OpenClaw integrates with Slack so you can chat with your agent from anywhere.

How It Works

1. Add the OpenClaw Slack app to your workspace
2. Mention @claw in any channel to start a run
3. The agent responds in a thread with progress updates
4. Open Claw Desktop later to review and resume

Setting Up Slack

Create a Slack App

1. Go to api.slack.com
2. Create a new app with Bot Token Scopes:
   • app_mentions:read
   • chat:write
   • channels:history
   • groups:history
3. Install to your workspace
4. Copy the Bot Token

Configure OpenClaw

Add to your OpenClaw .env:

SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-your-token
SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=your-signing-secret

Using Slack

@claw refactor the auth module

The agent will:

1. Acknowledge your request
2. Start working in a thread
3. Update you with progress
4. Ask for approval if needed (you can approve in Slack or Desktop)

Claw Desktop Integration

Runs started from Slack show a Slack icon in Claw Desktop. Your run_id is consistent across both interfaces.
