Slack
Start and continue Uno work in a Slack conversation.
Connect Slack to start work from mentions and direct messages, then follow the same session in Uno. Each factory has its own Slack app. New mentions and direct messages start Chief sessions.
Read the visual explanation
A mention starts work in the incoming workspace. Later mentioned replies stay with the same session even if the default incoming workspace changes.
Connect and choose routing
Open Settings → Integrations → Slack and authorize the bot offered by your workspace. Review the connected Slack team and create the factory notification channel.
Mentions and direct messages go to the factory that owns the app, even when several factories connect to the same Slack team. The original shared Uno and Uno Chief apps are retired.
Invite the bot to a channel before mentioning it there. If the connection needs new scopes, use the offered reauthorization flow. Image access can require additional permissions; check the connection message if a file is unavailable.
Start and continue work
Mention the bot with a bounded task, or send it a direct message. A new channel request can include a bounded window of preceding thread context, so make the actual request explicit.
In channels, mention the bot again when sending another instruction in the mapped thread. Ordinary unmentioned replies are ignored. DMs do not require a mention. Existing threads keep their original session and workspace mapping.
Open the linked Uno session to inspect progress, changes, and outputs.
Answer questions
While clarification questions are pending, the original requester can answer without another mention. Use the offered option number, custom text, or a response such as Q1: 2, Q2: preserve the current layout.
Partial answers stay saved; the waiting work resumes after all required questions are answered. If several delegated sessions ask in the same thread, use the displayed batch identifier to select the right questions. Web and Slack answers stay with the originating work.
Repair a connection
Read the integration's status and reconnect when requested. Check channel membership and the Factory bot identity before starting duplicate work. Factory apps keep separate connections and thread mappings.
See steering, delegation, and connection problems.
Choose Connect Slack to authorize Uno to create your Factory app, then approve its installation in Slack. You must have permission to manage apps in that Slack workspace. Setup never asks you to paste a configuration token or app secret. If setup is not configured, contact Uno support; existing Factory apps can still connect or reconnect.
