Have your agents post to Slack, Discord & Telegram
New in v1.4.0: agents can send messages out to the channels your team already watches. Each channel works two ways β as something you ask an agent to do in a chat, and as a node you drop into a workflow.
Slack
- In Slack, open Apps β Incoming Webhooks (or create a Slack app with an Incoming Webhook) and add a webhook for the channel you want to post to.
- Copy the webhook URL β it looks like
https://hooks.slack.com/services/....
- Use it:
- In a chat β give the agent the webhook URL and tell it what to post: "Summarize this thread in 3 bullets and post it to this Slack webhook: β¦"
- In a workflow β add the Slack node and paste the URL into its config. The message field supports
{{variables}} from earlier steps.
The webhook fixes which channel the message lands in, so you stay in control of the destination. You can optionally override the display name and emoji.
Discord
- In your Discord server, open Server Settings β Integrations β Webhooks and create a webhook for the target channel.
- Copy the webhook URL (
https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...).
- Use it the same way β hand it to an agent in chat, or paste it into the Discord workflow node.
Telegram
Telegram uses the Nuveki bot rather than a webhook:
- Add the Nuveki bot to the group or channel you want to post to.
- Get that chat's numeric chat ID (a quick way: add a helper bot like @userinfobot, or read it from the Telegram API). A @username won't work β it has to be the numeric ID.
- Use the Send Telegram tool in chat, or the Send Telegram node in a workflow, with that chat ID. You can format messages with Markdown or HTML.
Where this shines
- End-of-run announcements β a scheduled workflow finishes and posts its result to #reports
- Hand-offs β an agent drafts something, you approve it, and the workflow posts it to the team channel
- Alerts β a monitoring workflow posts to Discord only when a threshold is crossed
Slack, Discord, and Telegram messages are free on every plan. Want to be notified personally instead of in a channel? See the companion post on email & SMS notifications.
