Automate Slack with Pokee AI
Slack is where your team lives, but posting updates, pulling reports, and monitoring channels is still manual. Pokee connects via one-click OAuth and automates your team communication - posting scheduled reports, monitoring channels, and routing information across 90+ tools.
What Pokee Can Do with Slack
- Post reports, summaries, and metrics to any channel on a schedule
- Monitor channels for specific topics and surface relevant messages
- Generate daily/weekly standup summaries from team conversations
- Route notifications from other tools into the right Slack channels
- Create smart alerts based on events in your CRM, codebase, or analytics
- Respond to questions in channels by pulling data from connected tools
- Deploy a Pokee-powered Slack bot that auto-replies to mentions and DMs

FAQ
- Can Pokee post to private channels?
- Yes. Any channel your authorized Slack account has access to, including private channels and DMs.
- Does it work with Slack Connect (shared channels)?
- Yes. Pokee can read and post to shared channels with external partners, within the permissions granted during OAuth.
- Can I deploy a bot that auto-replies?
- Yes. Pokee supports deploying a dedicated Slack bot using Socket Mode. The bot lives in your workspace and responds to @mentions and DMs autonomously with full access to Pokee's 90+ integrations.
- How is this different from a custom Slack bot?
- Custom bots require code, hosting, and ongoing maintenance. Pokee is instruction-based - describe what you want, it handles execution. It also pulls data from tools outside Slack that a custom bot cannot access without significant engineering.
- Will it spam my channels?
- You control exactly what gets posted, when, and where. Set frequency limits, approval gates, or quiet hours. Nothing fires without your configuration.
