Why use Vercel Connect with Slack?

  • Credentials on demand

    Request Slack credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.

  • Access for the right subject

    Keep app-scoped Slack access behind a reusable connector controlled by your team.

  • Managed authorization lifecycle

    Centralize Slack authorization and token exchange rather than rebuilding the provider flow in every application.

  • Vercel-native controls

    Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.

What you can build with Slack

  • Operate an agent in Slack

    Receive workspace events and let an agent respond in channels or threads.

  • Post alerts and updates

    Send deployment, incident, support, or workflow updates to the right channel.

  • Use conversation context

    Read authorized messages and channel history to ground internal tools and agents.

Use Slack with your stack

Follow a complete setup for the Connect SDK or a supported agent framework.

Add Slack to an existing Vercel application with the Connect SDK.

  1. Install the Connect SDK

    npm install @vercel/connect

  2. Create the Slack connector

    Run these commands from the project that will use the connection.

    vercel link
    vercel connect create slack --name acme-slack
    vercel env pull

  3. Request Slack credentials

    app/api/route.ts
    import { getToken } from '@vercel/connect';
    

    const token = await getToken('slack/acme-slack');
