Integrations
Slack
Connect Slack as a permission-scoped conversation source — signals into the Brain, optional task detection, outbound posts only when you approve.
Slack is a source-first integration. HiveBase reads authorized channels and threads into the Signal Engine so company context stays current. It does not replace Slack as your chat product, and it does not post or act in Slack unless you explicitly allow outbound paths.
Connect ≠ watch ≠ Brain ≠ writeback. Connecting the workspace grants access; you still choose which channels matter, what becomes a task, and what may post back.
What you get
| Capability | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Channel / thread capture | Authorized messages and threads can become signals and typed claims in the Brain |
| Task detection | Actionable work can be suggested as tasks — creation stays reviewable |
| Summaries | Long threads can be summarized for FYI and decision capture |
| Outbound posts | Status updates or messages into Slack are approval-gated by default (trust model) |
Not an AI project manager persona
Slack is a conversation source for company context and coordination — not a rebranded “AI PM living in Slack.” Board hygiene and autonomous PM live in the Task System and /pm surfaces, with the same receipts and approval boundaries as everything else.
Connect Slack
Open Data Sources
In HiveBase, go to Settings → Integrations → Data Sources.
Connect Slack
Find Slack and select Connect Slack. Complete Slack's OAuth screen for the workspace you intend to use.
Authorize scopes
Review the requested scopes (channels, messages, users as shown on the consent screen). Workspace admins may need to approve the install.
Select channels
Choose which channels HiveBase may observe. Narrower is better — capture the rooms where decisions and work actually happen.
What stays in Slack
| Data or action | Current behavior |
|---|---|
| Message history in channels not selected | Not ingested |
| Editing / deleting historical Slack messages | Source of truth remains Slack; Brain claims keep provenance and can be superseded |
| Posting to channels or DMs | Outbound only via governed actions you approve (or categories that have earned autonomy) |
| Replacing Slack search / notifications | No — HiveBase adds context and coordination on top |
Disconnecting
From Settings → Integrations → Data Sources, open Slack and disconnect. Future ingestion stops and OAuth access is revoked. Existing Brain claims and tasks keep their history subject to your workspace retention rules — disconnecting does not silently rewrite the ledger.
