Routing

Route Slack channels or users to specific agents:
  • Channel ID filter — route messages from specific Slack channels (use the channel ID, not the name)
  • User filter — route messages from specific Slack users

​
Tips

  • Invite the bot to channels where you want it to respond: /invite @YourBot
  • The bot responds when mentioned (@YourBot) or in DMs
  • Use the Slack skill separately if you want agents to proactively send messages
