slack
Slack API integration with managed OAuth. Send messages, manage channels, search conversations, and interact with Slack workspaces. Use this skill when users want to post messages, list channels, get user info, or automate Slack workflows. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/slack-apiWhat This Skill Does
The Slack skill for OpenClaw provides a secure, streamlined interface for interacting with the Slack API using managed OAuth. Instead of handling complex token refreshes or manual API management, this skill acts as a proxy through the Maton gateway. It allows users to perform standard Slack operations such as sending direct messages, posting to channels, retrieving user information, listing conversation history, and automating workflows. By abstracting the authentication layer, it enables seamless integration into your existing agent workflows, ensuring that your Slack interactions are both consistent and secure.
Installation
To install this skill, use the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/slack-api
Once installed, ensure you have your Maton API key configured as an environment variable: export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY". Manage your specific Slack connections via the dashboard at https://ctrl.maton.ai, where you can initialize new connections or monitor the status of existing authorized workspaces.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for developers and power users looking to bridge the gap between their automated agents and team communication tools. Common use cases include:
- Automated Alerts: Have your agent post build statuses or error logs from your infrastructure directly into a specific Slack channel.
- Team Coordination: Automate daily stand-up summaries or meeting reminders for team members.
- Data Retrieval: Query member information or channel history to cross-reference data within an agent's analytical workflow.
- Workflow Triggers: Chain the Slack API with other productivity tools to create complex notification logic based on external event triggers.
Example Prompts
- "Post a message to the #engineering channel saying the deployment was successful and all services are stable."
- "List all active Slack connections and check the status of my primary workspace connection."
- "Fetch the user profile information for @dev_team_lead and summarize their availability for today."
Tips & Limitations
- Authentication: Always ensure your
MATON_API_KEYis kept private. Do not commit it to version control systems. - Rate Limiting: The skill utilizes the standard Slack API rate limits. If you are automating high-frequency messages, monitor your API responses for status code 429.
- Scopes: Ensure the connection initialized via
ctrl.maton.aihas the necessary OAuth scopes configured to permit the specific API methods you intend to call. - Gateway Utility: If you need to interact with other third-party SaaS platforms that are not Slack, please use the
api-gatewayskill instead.
