Features

​
Meeting Briefing Delivery

Receive your Meeting Briefs in a Slack channel instead of (or in addition to) email. To set this up:
  1. Go to Briefs in the left sidebar
  2. Under Delivery Channels, select your Slack channel
  3. Toggle on Slack delivery
Briefings appear as formatted Slack messages with attendee details, meeting links, and key context.

​
Auto-Filing Notifications

Get notified in Slack when attachments are automatically filed to your drive. See Auto-File Attachments for details on setting up auto-filing. To enable:
  1. Go to Attachments in the left sidebar
  2. Open the Integrations section
  3. Toggle on Slack notifications
You’ll see messages confirming where each file was saved, or questions when the AI needs your input on where to file something.

​
Chat with the AI Assistant

You can interact with your Inbox Zero AI assistant directly in Slack:
  • Direct message the Inbox Zero bot to start a conversation
  • @mention the bot in any channel it’s been added to
The AI assistant has access to your email and calendar context, so you can ask it questions about your inbox, get help drafting emails, or manage your email workflow without leaving Slack. Conversations are threaded, so you can have multiple ongoing chats.

​
Selecting a Channel

After connecting Slack, choose which channel receives notifications:
  1. Go to Briefs and select a channel from the dropdown
  2. The bot will automatically join the selected channel
  3. A confirmation message will be sent to verify the connection
You can change the channel at any time. Both public and private channels are supported.

​
Disconnecting

To disconnect Slack:
  1. Go to Settings
  2. Under Connected Apps, click Disconnect next to your Slack workspace
This removes the connection and stops all Slack notifications.
