# Slack Integration

> Chat with your assistant and deliver rules, drafts, and updates to Slack.

Connect Slack from the unified **Channels** page. A connected workspace can chat with the assistant and receive rule notifications, draft replies for review, meeting briefs, follow-up reminders, digests, and document-filing alerts.

## Connect Slack

1. Connect a Gmail or Outlook account to Inbox Zero.
2. Open **Channels** in the left sidebar.
3. Find Slack and click **Connect**.
4. Approve the requested permissions in Slack.
5. After returning to Inbox Zero, configure the rules and feature destinations you want.

The connected workspace appears on the Channels page with a **Connected** badge.

## Choose a Destination

Each Slack feature can use a direct message or an allowed private channel. Configured channel delivery has these restrictions:

* Public channels cannot be selected.
* You must be a member of the private channel.
* Inbox Zero does not automatically join the selected channel.
* If a private channel is missing from the selector, use the `/invite @<bot-name>` command shown in the destination menu to invite the Inbox Zero bot, then refresh the list.

You can choose separate destinations for rule notifications, meeting briefs, follow-up reminders, digests, document-filing alerts, and scheduled check-ins.

## Rule Notifications and Draft Review

The **Rule notifications** section lists your assistant rules. Enable a rule for Slack, then use its menu to choose:

* **Notify only**: Post a notification when the rule matches.
* **Draft reply in chat**: Deliver the generated reply to Slack for review.

## Chat with the Assistant

* Send the Inbox Zero bot a direct message.
* Mention the bot in a Slack conversation where it has been added.
* Continue related conversations in Slack threads.

The assistant can search and manage email, draft messages, and update supported rules and settings. Use `/help` to see shortcuts such as `/summary`, `/draftreply`, `/followups`, and `/cleanup`.

## Other Slack Deliveries

Enable these from the connected Slack section of **Channels** or from the feature's own settings:

* [Meeting Briefs](/essentials/meeting-briefs)
* Follow-up reminders and scheduled check-ins
* [Email Digest](/essentials/email-digest)
* [Auto-File Attachments](/essentials/auto-file-attachments) alerts

## Disconnect Slack

Open **Channels**, use the menu next to the connected Slack workspace, and choose `Disconnect Slack`. This stops chat access and all Slack deliveries for that connection.
