Slack

Connect Claude Cowork to Slack to read messages, search channels, and draft replies without leaving your coding or documentation workspace. The integration pulls channel lists, thread messages, and file links; it maps user mentions and reactions so you can filter by people or by activity. It reads pinned items and thread replies, and it marks which messages are unread so you only surface new context.

Use the connection to generate meeting summaries from threads, create status updates from channel history, and draft message threads or announcements ready to post. It sends drafts back to Slack as messages or scheduled posts, and it records which draft was posted. You can ask for highlights from a channel, check who answered a question, or pull links to relevant files and messages.

Imagine closing a sprint planning doc and then asking Claude to pull last week’s #dev standup notes, generate a release announcement, and post it to #releases — all without switching apps. That flow saves time by keeping reading, writing, and posting in one place, so you don’t jump between Slack and your editor during tight deadlines.
