Chat with Your Agents Directly from Slack
A Slack DM or thread with your agent's bot is now a full Effigate Command Center chat, with the same memory, project context, and task linking.
Summary
Effigate Command Center's agent bot in Slack now behaves like a real chat, not a simple command responder. Messages are remembered, tasks can be created with a slash command, and a Slack conversation carries the same project context and task links as a web chat.
What You Gain
Previously, talking to an agent's bot in Slack felt disconnected from the richer chat experience on the web: there was no lasting memory between messages, no way to tie the conversation to a project, and creating a task meant guessing at what you'd typed rather than filling out a proper form.
Now a Slack thread with an agent's bot works like any other Effigate Command Center chat. Picture asking its bot a question in a thread, getting an answer, then a day later asking a follow-up in the same thread — the agent still remembers the earlier context, as it would on the web. When ready to turn the conversation into real work, a slash command opens a proper task form instead of a vague prompt.
How It Works
- Secure, one-time account linking. Linking your Slack account uses a private link shown only to you, valid once, expiring after 15 minutes.
- The same access rules as the web. You must be on the agent's team and allowed to use it; only a team admin or the agent's owner can connect or disconnect its bot.
- Create a task with a form. A slash command opens a task form where you choose the project, and the agent writes up the task and can start right away.
- Choose what the chat is about. Set the project a chat is focused on with a slash command.
- Fresh starts when you need them. Start a new chat, or keep the same one while asking the agent to forget what came before.
- Send files. Attach up to 10 per message, 20 MB each.
- Clear status in Slack. An hourglass shows while queued, an eye while working, clearing once it answers.
Where to Find It
Available now to any team using Chat with Agents that has connected an agent's bot to Slack. Sending files needs the Slack app's file-reading permission, which may require reinstalling the app.
