What Runner can do with Slack. These are grounded in the real backend connector definitions, not generic marketing filler.
Find the person before you read the thread
slack_find_userSearch Slack users by name, display name, or email, with a fallback for external users in DM history.
“Find the Slack user for Maya Chen so I can pull the relevant conversation.”
Runner resolves the right person without making you hunt through Slack manually.
Find the right channel
slack_find_channelSearch Slack channels by name, purpose, or topic.
“Find the channel where the team has been discussing Acme rollout blockers.”
The workflow lands in the real discussion instead of guessing at channel names.
Find a DM or group DM
slack_find_dmFind DMs and group DMs by participant name and return recent messages.
“Find the DM thread with our recruiting lead and show me the latest messages.”
Private conversation context becomes accessible without tab hopping.
Read the full conversation state
slack_get_conversationFind and read any Slack conversation in one call.
“Pull the full conversation from the #leadership-updates thread about Q2 hiring risk.”
Runner turns Slack chatter into something you can actually reason from.
Search and send when needed
SLACK_SEND_MESSAGESend a Slack message as the authenticated user.
“Send the final follow-up note to the channel after I approve the wording.”
The workflow can end in a real message instead of a suggestion to copy and paste.
