# Slack Bot Integration via Decisions

## Overview

A Slack Bot integration can be created in **Decisions** (available in version **v9.17 and above**) to allow communication between Slack and Decisions Flows. When a user mentions the bot in Slack, the message, channel, and user details are passed into Decisions, where a Flow processes the information and returns a response.

This enables automation and interaction with Decisions directly from Slack, such as triggering workflows or retrieving data through chat commands.

---

### Prerequisite:

- [**Slack Module**](/v9/docs/slack) installed and added as a [project dependency](/v9/docs/project-dependencies).
- **App Level Token** and **Bot Token** obtained from the Slack application (already configured on the Slack side).

---

## Example

1. Navigate to **System > Integrations > Bots**.
2. Click **CREATE SLACK BOT**.
3. On the **Slack Bot Configuration** window, provide a **Bot Name**and the required credentials:![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image-1762878160133.png)
  - **App Level Token** (scoped for `connections:write`)
  - **Bot Token** (OAuth token generated for the Slack Bot)
  - Under the **Response Type**setting, select how the bot should reply:
    - **Channel** – sends the response in the channel.
    - **Thread** – sends the response in a message thread.
4. Under the **Handler Flow** setting, select a Flow that uses the **SlackBot Message Handler** behavior.  
This Flow processes the incoming message and defines the bot’s response.
5. Click **SAVE** to save the configuration.

Once the bot is created, add it to a Slack channel. When the bot is mentioned (for example, `@YourBotName`), the configured Flow in Decisions will execute and respond according to the logic defined in the Handler Flow (e.g., displaying a pop-up, sending a message, or triggering another process).
