How does the Slack Bot integration work?
People continue using Slack Bot as their tool. StackOS adds it to a visible workflow, keeps the work in order, and passes only the approved action to the integration when that stage is ready.

Common questions
Slack Bot and StackOS.
What can the Slack Bot integration do in StackOS?
The current catalog includes 10 Slack Bot actions across Messaging. The exact actions used depend on the workflow and approval rules.
Does StackOS replace Slack Bot?
No. Slack Bot remains the tool that performs its part of the job. StackOS organizes the workflow, keeps status and dependencies visible, and calls the tool only when the plan reaches the right approved action.
