Chat Platforms

Connect Slack

Create a Slack app, install it to your workspace, and connect it to BrainClaw.

Before you start

  • A running BrainClaw instance (provision one from BrainClaw).
  • A Slack workspace where you can install apps.
1

Create a Slack app

Go to api.slack.com/apps and click Create New App → From scratch. Pick a name and your workspace.

2

Add bot token scopes

Under OAuth & Permissions → Bot Token Scopes, add the scopes your bot needs (for example chat:write, app_mentions:read, im:history, im:write).

3

Install to your workspace

Click Install to Workspace and authorize. Slack gives you a Bot User OAuth Token that starts with xoxb-. Copy it.

4

Paste the token into BrainClaw

In MegaBrain, open BrainClaw → Settings → Channels → Slack, paste the xoxb- token into Bot Token, and click Save.

5

Redeploy and chat

In Settings → Instance Controls, click Redeploy. Once Running, invite the bot to a channel or DM it and start chatting.
