Connectors

Slack

Index Slack messages and threads from selected channels, with membership-based access.

The Slack connector indexes messages, threads, and shared files from selected channels. Channel membership drives document-level security: a user only retrieves messages from channels they belong to.

Prerequisites

  • A Slack app installed to the workspace with a bot token.
  • Scopes: channels:read, channels:history, groups:read, groups:history, users:read, files:read.

Configure

Sync

  • Full sync re-indexes selected channels.
  • Incremental sync indexes new messages since the last run.
  • With document-level security enabled, results respect each user's channel membership.
