Connect Slack to OpenClaw

Bring your OpenClaw agent into your Slack workspace. It works as a Slack app that can respond in channels, threads, and direct messages.

> Before you start

Make sure you have:

  • ✓ A running OpenClaw agent. Your agent must be deployed and in a "Running" state on Clawly (or self-hosted).
  • ✓ A Slack workspace. You'll need admin permissions to install apps.
  • ✓ Access to the OpenClaw GUI. You'll configure the Slack integration through your agent's settings.
