We've added a new Instill Component, Slack, to Instill Core, and our team can't wait to use it! This addition enables you to build pipelines to read and write messages from your Slack workspace, making your workflow smoother and communication even better.

With this new feature, you can do cool stuff like:

• Send Slack messages to LLM and get back helpful insights and actions powered by AI

• Automate routine tasks, freeing up your team to focus on higher-value work

Try It Now!

1. Create and install a Slack app

   Follow the Slack API tutorial to create and install a Slack app in your workspace. You'll get a Slack API bot token like "xoxb-******", which we'll need later.

2. Set up your Slack token as a secret

   Go to Instill Console, click on your Avatar in the top right corner, then go to Settings > Secrets > Create Secret. Use the token you got in the first step to create a secret.

3. Build a pipeline with the Slack component

   Go to the pipeline builder page, click on Component+ at the top left and Select Slack. Use the secret you created in step 2 as the token input in the Slack connection section. Now you're all set to start sending and receiving messages. Just make sure your Slack app is in the right channel.

So go ahead, have some fun with it! Whether you're using it to summarize messages, crack a few jokes, or just boost your team's productivity, we hope it helps you create a more connected and efficient work environment.
