Slack

Add Slack to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.

Embed a Slack integration in your product so customers connect their own workspace and your AI agents can send updates and read context. fastn manages per-workspace OAuth and connector upkeep, so Slack becomes a configurable feature of your product rather than integration work for your team.

In your product

Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.

Post your product's alerts and updates into each customer's own Slack workspace.

Let customers self-serve which of your product's events go to which Slack channel.

Turn a Slack message, command, or reaction into an action inside your product.

Scope every customer's Slack with per-workspace OAuth, isolated and revocable.

For your AI agents

Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.

An agent posts status updates and opens threads in Slack on the user's behalf.

An agent reads a channel's recent history for context before it responds.

An agent fires a workflow when a message lands in a watched channel.

Example prompt

When a deal is marked closed-won, post a celebration message to #sales with the account name and amount.

Set up Slack in 4 steps

  1. 01Open the Slack connector from your fastn dashboard.
  2. 02Have each customer authorize their Slack workspace with OAuth.
  3. 03Enable the channels, actions, and triggers your product needs.
  4. 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent via the MCP server.

Why teams use the Slack integration

What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.

  • Ship a Slack integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Slack account inside your product and work their messages, conversations and participants there, with no per-customer code on your side.
  • Handle the part that actually costs time: anything sent is user-visible, so duplicates and misfires are immediately embarrassing. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Slack update is not your on-call problem.
  • One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Slack connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you put the right message in front of the right team automatically without wiring it twice.

Slack integration FAQ

How do I add a Slack integration to my product?

Enable the Slack connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Slack account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Slack client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.

Do my customers each connect their own Slack account?

Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Slack account and only ever sees their own messages, conversations and participants. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.

Can AI agents use this Slack integration?

Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent posts status updates and opens threads in Slack on the user's behalf.

Who maintains the Slack integration?

fastn does. When Slack changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.

Does each customer connect their own Slack account?

Yes. Every customer authorises their own Slack account, so messages, meetings and notifications originate from their workspace under their permissions. You never proxy through a shared account, which also means a customer revoking access affects only their own connection.

How are duplicate notifications avoided?

Sends are deduplicated per event, so a retry after a network failure does not post the same message twice into a channel people are reading.

What can I build with the Slack integration?

A common starting point: post your product's alerts and updates into each customer's own Slack workspace. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.

How much does the Slack integration cost?

It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Slack does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
