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.
