Slack

Connect Slack so Kyona can catch you up on channels, find messages buried in your history, and post on your behalf when you ask. Kyona acts as you in your Slack workspace, so messages and reactions appear under your name.

What Kyona can do with Slack

Action	Description
Read channels	Pull recent messages from channels you belong to for summaries and context
Search messages	Find specific messages across your channels and DMs
Post messages	Send messages to channels or direct messages on your behalf
React with emoji	Add emoji reactions to messages you point Kyona at

Example prompts

Once Slack is connected, you can ask things like:

Catch me up on #eng from this morning.

What's been said about the launch this week?

Post my weekly update to #team.

Find Sarah's message from last Tuesday about the pricing doc.

How to connect

Open the Kyona app.
Go to Menu → Integrations → Slack.
Tap Connect, then choose the Slack workspace you want to link.
Sign in with Slack and approve access.

If you belong to several workspaces, you can repeat the steps to connect a different one later. Kyona works against one Slack workspace at a time.

Recommended permission settings

Each Slack action has its own setting under Integrations → Slack. You can choose Off, Ask First, or Always per action.

Action	Suggested setting	Why
Read channels	Always	Lets Kyona pull context without interrupting you
Search messages	Always	Search is read-only and behaves like a normal lookup
Post messages	Ask First	Anything posted appears under your name, so a quick review is worth it
React with emoji	Ask First	Reactions are visible to your team and easy to misfire

You can change any of these later from the same screen.

How Slack data shows up elsewhere in Kyona

Your morning brief can include highlights from channels you read most often, so you start the day with a sense of what changed overnight.
Automations can trigger on Slack activity or post to Slack on a schedule, for example a weekly recap to #team or a nudge when a specific channel goes quiet.
When Kyona references a Slack message in chat, it links back to the original so you can jump into the thread.

Workspace admin note

On most free and standard Slack plans, you can connect Kyona on your own. On Enterprise Grid and some larger workspaces, an admin may need to approve third-party apps before you can sign in. If the connect flow stops at an approval screen, ask your workspace admin to allow Kyona, then try again.

Disconnecting

To remove Slack:

Open Menu → Integrations → Slack.
Tap Disconnect.

Kyona stops reading, searching, and posting in Slack right away. You can also revoke Kyona from your Slack workspace settings under Manage apps if you prefer to remove it from the Slack side.
