Delete multiple Slack List items
Deletes several items (rows) from a Slack List in one call via `slackLists.items.deleteMultiple`. This operation is ALL-OR-NOTHING: Slack returns a single `{"ok": true}` on success or `{"ok": false, "error": ...}` on failure, with NO per-item result array, so partial state cannot be reported.

Fetch bot user information
Fetches information for a specified, existing Slack bot user; will not work for regular user accounts or other integration types.
ActionTry it
Fetch conversation history
Fetches a chronological list of messages and events from a specified Slack conversation, accessible by the authenticated user/bot, with options for pagination and time range filtering. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: This action only returns messages from the main channel timeline. Threaded replies are NOT returned by this endpoint. To retrieve threaded replies, use the SLACK_FETCH_MESSAGE_THREAD_FROM_A_CONVERSATION action (conversations.replies API) instead. The oldest/latest timestamp filters work reliably for filtering the main channel timeline, but cannot be used to retrieve individual threaded replies - even if you know the exact reply timestamp, setting oldest=latest to that timestamp will return an empty messages array. To get threaded replies: 1. Use this action to get parent messages (which include thread_ts, reply_count, latest_reply fields) 2. Use SLACK_FETCH_MESSAGE_THREAD_FROM_A_CONVERSATION with the parent's thread_ts to fetch all replies in that thread
ActionTry it
Fetch item reactions
Fetches reactions for a Slack message, file, or file comment. Exactly one identifier path must be provided: `channel`+`timestamp`, `file`, or `file_comment`. Mixing identifiers (e.g., providing both `channel`+`timestamp` and `file`) causes errors. If the response omits the `reactions` field, the item has zero reactions.

List all users
Retrieves a paginated list of all users with profile details, status, and team memberships in a Slack workspace; data may not be real-time. Filter response fields `is_bot`, `is_app_user`, and `deleted` to build human-only rosters. Profile fields like `email` and `phone` may be absent depending on OAuth scopes and workspace privacy settings. Guest/restricted accounts may be omitted based on scopes—do not treat results as a complete directory. High-frequency calls risk HTTP 429; honor the `Retry-After` header and throttle to ~1–2 requests/second. Use stable user IDs rather than display names for mapping. Prefer SLACK_FIND_USERS for targeted lookups; cache results to avoid full-workspace fetches.
ActionTry it
List all users in a user group

ActionTry it
Search all content
Tool to search all messages and files. Use when you need unified content search across channels and files in one call. Results are scoped to content visible to the authenticated token; missing hits in private or restricted channels reflect permission/membership gaps. Response separates messages and files into distinct sections — explicitly read the files section for document results. Results are index-based and may lag several minutes behind real-time; use SLACK_FETCH_CONVERSATION_HISTORY for near-real-time per-channel coverage. Paginated searches exceeding ~1 req/sec may return HTTP 429 too_many_requests; honor the Retry-After header and resume from the last page.

ActionTry it
Send message
Posts a message to a Slack channel, DM, or private group. Provide exactly one visible content mode: `markdown_text` for normal Markdown content, or `blocks` for raw Slack Block Kit layouts. Use `fallback_text` only with `blocks`; it maps to Slack's top-level `text` fallback. Fails with `not_in_channel`, `channel_not_found`, or `channel_is_archived` if the bot lacks access. Rate-limited at ~1 req/sec (HTTP 429, honor `Retry-After`). Not idempotent — duplicate calls post duplicate messages.

Shares a remote file, which must already be registered with Slack, into specified Slack channels or direct message conversations.
ActionTry it

ActionTry it
Update a Slack message
Updates a Slack message by timestamp. Provide exactly one visible content mode: `markdown_text` for normal Markdown content, or `blocks` for raw Slack Block Kit layouts. Use `fallback_text` only with `blocks`; it maps to Slack's top-level `text` fallback.
ActionTry it
Update an existing remote file

ActionTry it
Update call information
Updates the title, join URL, or desktop app join URL for an existing Slack call identified by its ID.
ActionTry it
Update Slack List
Updates a Slack List's metadata via `slackLists.update`. Only the List's `name`, `description_blocks`, and `todo_mode` are editable here. The List to update is identified by its `id` (not `list_id`). Descriptions are rich text — a plain string is wrapped into a `rich_text` block automatically. Requires a user token with the `lists:write` scope.
ActionTry it
Update Slack List item
Updates one or more cells in an EXISTING Slack List row via `slackLists.items.update`. Each cell is identified by `row_id` (an existing row ID matching `^Rec[A-Z0-9]{8,}$`) and `column_id` and carries a typed value; text columns require Block Kit `rich_text` (a plain string is wrapped automatically), and `select` takes the column's choice values (e.g. `["todo"]`). Use it to UPDATE existing rows; the live API rejects `row_id_to_create` inside a cell (despite Slack's inline example), so to ADD a row use `create_slack_list_item`. Requires a user token with the `lists:write` scope.
ActionTry it
Update Slack user group
Updates an existing Slack User Group, which must be specified by an existing `usergroup` ID, with new optional details such as its name, description, handle, or default channels.
ActionTry it

ActionTry it
Upload or create a file in Slack
Upload files, images, screenshots, documents, or any media to Slack channels or threads. Supports all file types including images (PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF), documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT), code files, and more. Can share files publicly in channels or as thread replies with optional comments. Large files may fail with `upload_too_large`; use SLACK_ADD_A_REMOTE_FILE_FROM_A_SERVICE for large uploads. If the API returns `ok=false` with `method_deprecated`, fall back to SLACK_ADD_A_REMOTE_FILE_FROM_A_SERVICE or SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE with a URL.
ActionTry it
Who Am I
Return the identity (user + workspace) of the connected Slack account. Slack user ids are workspace-scoped, so the workspace is part of the label.

How the Slack integration works
The Slack integration connects your Dench AI CRM directly to Slack, so agents can read and act on your Slack data as part of everyday work — answering questions in chat, keeping your CRM in sync, and running automations without anyone copying data between tools.
174 actions are available for agents to invoke on your behalf, and 9 triggers can start a Dench automation the moment something changes in Slack. Every call runs through Slack's own authorization, scoped to the account you connect.
Set up Slack in Dench
- 1
Sign in to your Dench workspace and open Integrations.
- 2
Find Slack and click Connect — you'll authorize access through Slack's own sign-in flow. No API keys or code required.
- 3
Ask an agent to use Slack in chat, or wire a Slack trigger into an automation.
- 4
Manage or disconnect the connection any time from workspace settings.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Slack integration work with Dench?
The Dench Slack integration connects your AI CRM to Slack, so AI agents can work with your Slack data as part of chats, automations, and CRM workflows. You connect your account once, and every agent in your workspace can use it — governed by your workspace permissions.
What actions can AI agents perform with Slack via Dench?
The Slack integration currently exposes 174 actions, including Add a remote file, Add a star to an item, Add an emoji alias, Add call participants, Add channel bookmark, and Add emoji. Agents invoke them on your behalf from chat or from automations.
Can Dench react to events in Slack automatically?
Yes. The Slack integration provides 9 triggers — such as Channel Message Received, Direct Message Received, Message Reaction Added, and Message Reaction Removed — that can start a Dench automation the moment something happens in Slack.
Do I need to write code to connect Slack to Dench?
No. You connect Slack from your Dench workspace using Slack's own sign-in and authorization flow — no API keys to copy, no glue code to maintain.
Is the Slack integration secure?
Connections are authorized through Slack's own authentication flow, and Dench stores only the authorization needed to act on your behalf. You can review and disconnect the Slack connection from your workspace settings at any time.
