How to Connect Slack in 3 Simple Steps
Get your AI support agent live and answering questions in under 2 minutes.
Add to Slack
In the CustomerGPT dashboard, open Integrations → Slack, click "Add to Slack", authorize the app and choose the channels where the bot should answer.
Connect Escalation Alerts (Optional)
To receive website-widget escalations, generate an Incoming Webhook URL in Slack and paste it in the Escalations tab of your dashboard.
Test Both Flows
Ask a question in a connected channel, then send a test inquiry from the widget to check that the escalation reaches your channel.
Remote teams, SaaS startups, and support desks using Slack as their central operating hub.
- • Widget escalations are a one-way notification: an agent's reply in Slack does not reach the website visitor without two-way webhook work.
- • Escalation alerts use a Slack Incoming Webhook, set up separately from the "Add to Slack" app.
- • The bot answers only in the channels you select during setup.
Slack Integration FAQ
How do I add CustomerGPT to Slack?
In the CustomerGPT dashboard, open Integrations → Slack, click "Add to Slack", authorize the app in your workspace and choose the channels where the bot should listen. From then on it answers questions in those channels as a reply in the thread. No API keys or engineering work are required.
How does human escalation to Slack work?
When a website visitor asks for a human or asks a question outside your knowledge base, CustomerGPT collects their email/name and posts the conversation history to the Slack channel connected in the Escalations tab, so an agent can pick it up with full context.
If a website chat escalates to Slack, does an agent's reply in Slack reach the visitor?
Not by default. Questions asked inside Slack get their answer in the Slack thread, but an escalation from the website widget is a one-way notification: the transcript and contact details arrive in your channel, and your agent follows up by email or in the widget. Sending Slack replies back to the widget requires two-way webhook work.
Can we use CustomerGPT purely as an internal Slack bot?
Yes. Train CustomerGPT on internal employee handbooks, engineering docs, and HR policies, add it to your internal channels, and it answers team questions there as thread replies.
