CONNECTOR
SlackSlack connector
Find the right thread, read the full conversation, and turn chat into usable operating context.
Runner combines upstream Slack toolkit coverage with custom cached lookup and conversation-reading tools so internal context is actually usable in the workflow.
Slack in real workflows
The app page is only useful if it shows how Slack fits into a real job. This preview is pulled from the live workflow pages that already use the connector.

Why it's better
Slack is more useful inside a workflow
- Find users, channels, and DMs without scanning huge Slack payloads.
- Read full bidirectional conversation history instead of partial search results.
- Use Slack discussion as working context for briefs, recaps, and follow-through.

These examples are grounded in the real Runner backend connector definitions and connector guidance docs, not generic marketing filler.
Slack
Find the person before you read the thread
slack_find_user
Search 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.
Slack
Find the right channel
slack_find_channel
Search 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.
Slack
Find a DM or group DM
slack_find_dm
Find 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.
Slack
Read the full conversation state
slack_get_conversation
Find 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.
Slack
Search and send when needed
SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE
Send 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.
How this connector is wired in Runner
Provider
Slack
Category: Messaging.
Backend
Composio toolkit plus custom tools
Backed by the `slack` toolkit in Runner's backend catalog and extended with custom lookup and conversation tools in `slack.ts`.
What to expect when Runner uses Slack
Operational note
Slack
The backend explicitly warns that Slack search can omit your own sent messages; `slack_get_conversation` is the safer path for state checks.
Operational note
Slack
Slack lookup tools are cached to avoid the huge `LIST_CONVERSATIONS` payload problem.
