Slack Agent

Murph can watch selected Slack channels while you are away, draft grounded replies, apply policy, and leave a review trail for every decision.

When to use it

Use Murph for Slack when you want an async handoff agent that stays under your control:

• keep important Slack channels covered while offline
• answer routine questions from your real workspace context
• queue risky replies for review instead of sending automatically
• review what was sent, queued, skipped, and why

How it works

Murph uses Slack Socket Mode by default, so local development does not require a public Events URL. During setup, Murph asks for Slack credentials, guides workspace installation, and lets you choose watched channels.

Each handoff session follows the same path:

Slack channel -> context -> grounded draft -> policy -> send | queue | skip

What to configure

• Slack app credentials and workspace installation
• watched channels for the handoff session
• provider keys for OpenAI or Anthropic
• policy profile for send, queue, and skip behavior
• context integrations such as GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Granola, or Obsidian

Start with Channels and Configuration.

Limits

Murph only watches channels you select. Conservative policy profiles keep auto-send off by default, so sensitive or ambiguous Slack replies stay queued unless you explicitly allow more autonomy.
