Making API Calls With Slack Using Tool Steps

You can configure your Slack agent to make API calls to Slack via Relevance AI’s tool builder.

Your agents can combine these actions with their reasoning capabilities to create sophisticated workflows that enhance team communication and productivity.
Type in “Slack” in the search bar to see all the available Slack actions.

Disclaimer

Relevance AI enables users to access verified and genuine generative models from secure and trusted vendors. However, generative AI technologies still leave the potential for hallucinations leading to potentially inaccurate responses. Please review and verify the agent’s output and use a combination of deterministic and agentic behaviour to achieve the most reliable results.
