Communication & Meetings
What the Slack connector can do
Slack is where many teams already talk, so the type.com Slack connection meets them there. You choose which Slack channels to mirror into type.com channels, the agent reads those conversations with full context, and its replies go back into the original Slack thread. New messages can also kick off agent work, and people can @mention the agent directly from Slack.

What teams do with Slack in type.com
Answer questions where they are asked
Map a support or ops Slack channel to a type.com channel so the agent can read each question and reply in the same Slack thread.
Map our #customer-questions Slack channel to the Support channel here and reply in-thread to anything about billing.
Summarize busy channels
With the channel mirrored, ask the agent to recap a day of discussion so people who were heads down can catch up quickly.
Summarize today's messages from the mirrored #eng-incidents Slack channel and list any open action items.
Kick off work from new messages
Start an agent task whenever a new message lands in a mapped channel, such as drafting a first response to every new partner request.
Whenever a new message arrives in #partner-requests, draft a reply and post it back to the Slack thread.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Slack
Can I @mention the agent from Slack?
Yes. Once Slack is connected, people can @mention the agent from Slack. Mapped channels also mirror into type.com, and the agent's replies are posted back into the original Slack thread.
How does Slack authentication work?
You sign in with OAuth to authorize the Slack workspace. Admins then decide which Slack channels map to which type.com channels and which Spaces can use the connection.
Does the agent see every Slack channel?
No. It reads only the Slack channels you choose to map. Messages from those channels flow into the paired type.com channel, which keeps the agent's context limited to the conversations you selected.
Is this the same as an MCP server for Slack?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
