Summary

Document Slack channel messages as a trigger for custom automations.

Changes

  • Explain how to select Slack and specific channels under the Integration trigger.
  • Document top-level-message-only handling and agent decision-making.
  • Clarify that Slack uses the Mintlify Slack app, separate from third-party integration tools.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes to automations guides; no application code, APIs, or security-sensitive logic.

Overview
Documents Slack channel messages as a way to start custom automations under the existing Integration trigger, alongside connected third-party integration events.

Updates span Overview (automations/index.mdx), Integrations (automations/integrations.mdx), and Manage automations (automations/manage.mdx). Readers get how to pick Slack and specific channels, that only top-level channel messages count (not thread replies), and that the agent decides whether a message warrants action—runs can finish with no changes.

Clarifies that Slack message triggers use the installed Mintlify Slack app (linked to /agent/slack), not a third-party app connected from Integrations settings or selected in automation Tools. Third-party trigger/tool wording is tightened where Slack differs (e.g. “shared integration” vs Slack).
