What it does
Interact with Slack workspaces using browser automation. Use when the user needs to check unread channels, navigate Slack, send messages, extract data, find information, search conversations, or automate any Slack task. Triggers include "check my Slack", "what channels have unreads", "send a message to", "search Slack for", "extract from Slack", "find who said", or any task requiring programmatic Slack interaction.
Slack Automation
Interact with Slack workspaces to check messages, extract data, and automate common tasks.
Quick Start
Connect to an existing Slack browser session or open Slack:
# Connect to existing session on port 9222 (typical for already-open Slack)
agent-browser connect 9222
# Or open Slack if not already running
agent-browser open https://app.slack.com
Then take a snapshot to see what's available:
agent-browser snapshot -i
Core Workflow
- Connect/Navigate: Open or connect to Slack
- Snapshot: Get interactive elements with refs (
@e1,@e2, etc.) - Navigate: Click tabs, expand sections, or navigate to specific channels
- Extract/Interact: Read data or perform actions
- Screenshot: Capture evidence of findings
# Example: Check unread channels
agent-browser connect 9222
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Look for "More unreads" button
agent-browser click @e21 # Ref for "More unreads" button
