But sharing any of that with your team means copying it out of chat and pasting it into Slack yourself. Connecting Slack removes that step — ask SIA to post an update and it lands directly in the channel or DM you name, with nothing to copy or switch between. {% hint style="warning" %} You'll need permission to install apps into your Slack workspace. If your workspace restricts this to admins, ask a workspace admin to approve the install when the Slack tab opens during setup. {% endhint %} ### Connecting Slack

1. In Chat, open **Connectors** from the sidebar 2. Find the **Slack** card and click **Connect Slack** 3. A new browser tab opens on Slack's sign-in and permission screen — choose the workspace you want to connect, review the permissions listed, and click **Allow** 4. Slack redirects you back to Chat and the card now reads **Connected** #### One step most people miss — adding SIA to a channel Connecting the workspace only lets SIA see the channels it's actually a member of, the same way it works for any teammate. If you want SIA to post into a channel, you need to add it there yourself: 1. Open the channel in Slack 2. Click the channel name at the top, then **Integrations** (or **Add apps**, depending on your Slack version) 3. Search for and add the SIA app Do this for every channel you want SIA to post into. It won't appear in a channel on its own just because the workspace is connected. ### What you can do once connected Once Slack is connected, SIA can act as a bridge between your hiring pipeline and the people who need to stay informed: * **Post an update to a channel** — a candidate update, a shortlist, or a summary, sent to whichever channel you name * **Message someone directly** — tell SIA who to reach (by name) and it works out their Slack account and sends them a DM * **Catch you up on a channel or DM** — SIA can read recent history in a conversation and summarise what was discussed or decided, so you don't have to scroll back through it yourself Messages show up in Slack just like any other teammate would send them. No special setup needed on the receiving end. ### Try it in chat * *"Post to #hiring that our top candidate just finished their interview, with the score."* * *"DM Priya the shortlist for the Backend role and ask her to review it."* * *"Catch me up on what's been said in #recruiting today."*

### A few things to note * **Nothing is posted without your approval -** Every message SIA drafts, whether a channel post or a DM, is shown to you for review before it goes out. Nothing is sent silently. * **SIA can only see channels it's been added to -** Being connected to the workspace is not the same as being in a specific channel. See the adding SIA to a channel step above if a channel isn't working as expected. ### Disconnecting Slack 1. Go to **Connectors** in the sidebar 2. On the Slack card, click **Disconnect** This revokes the workspace authorisation immediately. SIA can no longer read from or post to any Slack channel or DM until it's reconnected. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.senseloaf.ai/sia-chat/sia-for-slack.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
