Slack

The Slack integration lets your team delegate work to Amara from a channel or direct message. Instead of everyone running the CLI locally, a shared Syntic Code assistant listens in Slack, picks up tasks, and reports back in a thread. It is a natural fit for lightweight requests, “summarize the incident channel,” “open a PR to bump this dependency,” and for keeping a team informed as longer jobs progress.

Connecting Syntic Code to Slack

An admin installs the Syntic Code Slack app into your workspace and authorizes it against your Syntic AI account. During setup you choose which channels the assistant may join and which repositories or projects it may act on. Once installed, mention the assistant to start a task.

@Syntic please review the open PRs on the payments service and summarize risks

The assistant replies in a thread, asking clarifying questions or requesting approval when a step needs it.

Working in threads

Each task runs in its own thread, which keeps context contained and lets several requests proceed in parallel. Amara posts progress updates, permission prompts, and final results inline, so anyone in the channel can follow along or take over. Because the thread is the transcript, the work stays visible and searchable in Slack after it finishes, which makes handoffs and after-the-fact reviews easy.

Access and permissions

The Slack app acts with the permissions granted at install time, scoped to the channels and projects you selected. Sensitive actions still trigger explicit approval prompts, and you can limit which users are allowed to invoke the assistant. Review the app’s scopes before installing, restrict it to the channels that need it, and revoke access from your workspace’s app management page whenever it is no longer needed.
