What OpenClaw does with Slack

5 automation capabilities

Send notifications to any channel or DM

Post formatted messages with rich text, mentions, and thread replies. Keep the right people informed the moment something happens — without them having to check another tool.

Trigger automations from Slack with slash commands

Add a slash command that fires an OpenClaw workflow directly from Slack. Type /report, /sync, or /check — and OpenClaw does the work while the response comes back in the channel.

React to channel messages and mentions

When someone posts in a specific channel or mentions the bot, OpenClaw can parse the message, take an action, and reply — turning Slack into a command interface for your whole stack.

Route alerts to the right people automatically

Look up user IDs by email and mention specific people in notifications. New lead assigned to Sarah? OpenClaw pings @sarah in Slack directly. No manual routing.

Add interactive buttons to messages

Include action buttons in messages — Approve, Reject, Snooze. When someone clicks, OpenClaw handles the response and updates the relevant system. Approval workflows without a separate tool.

How simple is it?

Just tell OpenClaw what you need

You message OpenClaw:

Post a message to #sales with today's new leads from HubSpot — name, company, and lead score for each one

No workflow builder. No API docs. No configuration UI. Just plain English.

1

Create a Slack bot app

5 min

Go to api.slack.com/apps and create a new app. Add Bot Token Scopes: chat:write, channels:read, users:read. If you want slash commands, add the commands scope too. Install the app to your workspace.

2

Add Slack to OpenClaw

2 min

Copy the Bot User OAuth Token from your Slack app settings. Add it to OpenClaw as a Slack connection. Send a test message to a channel to confirm it works.

3

Build your first alert or command

5 min

Add a Slack action to any workflow to post a message when something happens. Or set up a slash command in Slack that points to your OpenClaw webhook URL to trigger workflows from Slack.
