Use the `message` tool with `channel: "slack"`. The tool schema lists the actions enabled for the current Slack account; do not assume an action that is not present.
Workflow
- Prefer stable Slack IDs from context. Sends outside the current conversation use `channel:<id>` or `user:<id>` targets.
- Keep replies in the current thread unless the user asks for a top-level post. For another thread, pass its Slack timestamp as `threadId`; use the same timestamp as `messageId` for message-specific actions.
- Before editing, deleting, pinning, or reacting to an ambiguous message, read the conversation and resolve its exact ID.
- When multiple Slack accounts are configured, pass `accountId` rather than guessing.
- Confirm destructive deletes when the target or intent is unclear.
Slack formatting, mentions, and available actions are described automatically by the current `message` tool hints. Follow those hints instead of maintaining a second action catalog here.
OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your own computer and meets you in the channels you already use: Discord, iMessage, Slack, Teams, Telegram, WhatsApp, and 20+ more, plus native apps for macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux.

Questions about slack.
- Which coding agents can use slack?
- slack installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
