How to Use Slack with Pokee AI

Pokee AI's Slack integration lets you send messages, read channels, manage notifications, and automate team communication workflows through natural language. Instead of manually posting updates and checking channels, let Pokee handle your Slack communication alongside your other tools.

What You Can Do with Slack + Pokee

• Team updates: Generate and post summaries, reports, and status updates
• Cross-post: Share content from other tools directly to Slack
• Automate notifications: Set up scheduled updates and alerts
• Read channels: Check recent messages and catch up on conversations
• Send messages: Post to any channel or DM any team member

Authorize Pokee to access your Slack workspace through OAuth when prompted.

Step 2: Start Simple

"Send a message to #general: Good morning team! Here's today's agenda."

"Check the latest messages in #engineering"

"DM Sarah: Can you review the PR by end of day?"

Step 3: Automate

"Every morning at 9am, post a daily standup reminder to #dev-team"

"After each weekly report is generated, share it in #leadership"
