Slack Runner Workflows

Find the right thread, read the full conversation, and turn chat into usable operating context.

Runner combines upstream Slack toolkit coverage with custom cached lookup and conversation-reading tools so internal context is actually usable in the workflow.

What Runner actually does with Slack

This page is tied to the real connector definition inside Runner. The highlights below describe the kinds of actions, safeguards, and workflow patterns the app page represents, not a generic integration directory blurb.

Find users, channels, and DMs without scanning huge Slack payloads.

Read full bidirectional conversation history instead of partial search results.

Use Slack discussion as working context for briefs, recaps, and follow-through.

Backend surface

Composio toolkit plus custom tools powers this connector inside Runner. Backed by the `slack` toolkit in Runner's backend catalog and extended with custom lookup and conversation tools in `slack.ts`.

Operational notes

  • The backend explicitly warns that Slack search can omit your own sent messages; `slack_get_conversation` is the safer path for state checks.
  • Slack lookup tools are cached to avoid the huge `LIST_CONVERSATIONS` payload problem.

Triggers and actions

What Runner can do with Slack. These are grounded in the real backend connector definitions, not generic marketing filler.

Find the person before you read the thread

slack_find_user

Search Slack users by name, display name, or email, with a fallback for external users in DM history.

“Find the Slack user for Maya Chen so I can pull the relevant conversation.”

Runner resolves the right person without making you hunt through Slack manually.

Find the right channel

slack_find_channel

Search Slack channels by name, purpose, or topic.

“Find the channel where the team has been discussing Acme rollout blockers.”

The workflow lands in the real discussion instead of guessing at channel names.

Find a DM or group DM

slack_find_dm

Find DMs and group DMs by participant name and return recent messages.

“Find the DM thread with our recruiting lead and show me the latest messages.”

Private conversation context becomes accessible without tab hopping.

Read the full conversation state

slack_get_conversation

Find and read any Slack conversation in one call.

“Pull the full conversation from the #leadership-updates thread about Q2 hiring risk.”

Runner turns Slack chatter into something you can actually reason from.

Search and send when needed

SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE

Send a Slack message as the authenticated user.

“Send the final follow-up note to the channel after I approve the wording.”

The workflow can end in a real message instead of a suggestion to copy and paste.

Use Slack inside a real workflow

Download Runner to connect Slack to the rest of your workflow instead of treating it like another isolated tab.
