Connecting

An admin of your organization connects an account in Integrations → Add Integration by picking Slack and signing in with the provider. See integrations.

Tools

Ask an agent for what you need in plain language — it picks the right tool itself. You can also limit which of these an agent may use, and require your approval before any of them runs.
