Q2 2026 Priority: Expand Channels

Currently active channels:

  • Telegram (configured, running, healthy)
  • iMessage (configured, running, healthy)
  • WhatsApp (configured but not linked)

Goal: Wire Slack as a third active channel to meet Q2 target of 3+ active channels.

Scope:

  1. Create Slack extension adapter (similar to existing Telegram/iMessage)
  2. Implement auth flow for Slack workspace/bot token
  3. Add Slack handlers for incoming messages and events
  4. Configure allowlists and message routing
  5. Add health monitoring via channels status
  6. Document Slack setup and configuration
  7. Test with existing command/tool framework

Definition of Done:

  • Slack appears in openclaw channels status with health probes
  • Messages flow bi-directionally (incoming/outgoing)
  • Supports at least basic commands and responses
  • Included in channel orchestration + allowlists system

Related Documentation:

  • Core channels: docs/channels/
  • Extension examples: extensions/discord, extensions/msteams
  • Status monitoring: src/commands/channels-status.ts
  • Message routing: src/routing/

Fix Plan

To integrate Slack as a new channel, we'll follow these steps:

  • Create a Slack extension adapter
  • Implement Slack authentication flow
  • Add handlers for incoming messages and events
  • Configure allowlists and message routing
  • Implement health monitoring

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Create Slack Extension Adapter

Create a new file extensions/slack/index.ts with the following code:

import { ChannelAdapter } from 'src/channels';

class SlackAdapter extends ChannelAdapter {
  // Implement Slack-specific logic
}

export default SlackAdapter;

2. Implement Auth Flow

Create a new file extensions/slack/auth.ts with the following code:

import { SlackAdapter } from './index';

const slackAuth = async () => {
  // Implement Slack auth flow using workspace/bot token
};

export default slackAuth;

3. Add Handlers for Incoming Messages and Events

Create a new file extensions/slack/handlers.ts with the following code:

import { SlackAdapter } from './index';

const messageHandler = async (message) => {
  // Handle incoming messages
};

const eventHandler = async (event) => {
  // Handle incoming events
};

export { messageHandler, eventHandler };

4. Configure Allowlists and Message Routing

Update src/routing/index.ts to include Slack routing:

import { SlackAdapter } from 'extensions/slack';

const routes = [
  // Existing routes...
  {
    channel: 'slack',
    adapter: SlackAdapter,
  },
];

export default routes;

5. Implement Health Monitoring

Update src/commands/channels-status.ts to include Slack health monitoring:

import { SlackAdapter } from 'extensions/slack';

const healthCheck = async () => {
  // Implement Slack health check
};

export default healthCheck;

Verification

Run openclaw channels status to verify that Slack appears with health probes. Test bi-directional message flow using existing command/tool framework.
