Slack Connector

The Slack integration lets you chat with your MQTT broker and BunkerAI assistant directly from any Slack channel or DM. Query broker status, manage clients, receive anomaly alerts, and run natural-language commands - without leaving Slack.

Prerequisites

  • BunkerAI Cloud account with available credits
  • BunkerM instance with BunkerAI Cloud connected
  • A Slack workspace where you have permission to add apps

Step 1: Connect BunkerAI Cloud

Make sure BunkerAI Cloud is connected first. Go to Settings > Integrations, enter your API key, and click Connect. If already connected, skip to Step 2.

Step 2: Authorize BunkerAI in Slack

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations and find the Slack section.
  2. Click Authorize BunkerAI in Slack.
  3. You are redirected to Slack's OAuth page.
  4. Select your workspace from the dropdown.
  5. Click Allow.

You are redirected back to BunkerM. The Slack section now shows a connected status with your workspace name.

Step 3: Start Using BunkerAI in Slack

Open your Slack workspace. The BunkerAI app appears in the Apps section of the sidebar.

  • Direct Message: find BunkerAI in Apps and send a DM. The most private way to interact.
  • Channel mention: in any channel, type @BunkerAI followed by your question. The bot replies in the thread.

Receiving Anomaly Alerts

Go to Settings > Integrations and enable Alert Forwarding. New anomalies detected by BunkerAI are automatically sent as Slack messages to the BunkerAI DM conversation (or to a configured channel).

Shared Memory

Conversation history is shared across Slack, Telegram, and Web Chat. A conversation started on Slack can be continued in Web Chat without losing context. See Shared AI Memory.

Disconnecting

Go to Settings > Integrations, find the Slack section, and click Disconnect. You can also remove the app directly from your Slack workspace settings under Manage Apps.
