OpenClaw Slack

Slack mode choice

Use this page when Slack is connected but the operator has not made a clean decision about which Slack mode they actually want.

Core ideaSlack mode choice affects visibility, install shape, and which early failures are normal.
Practical split

Choose the narrowest mode that still supports the real workflow

Lighter mode

Narrow first rollout

Use the lighter path when you want explicit interaction flows and fewer moving parts.

Broader mode

Richer workspace behavior

Use the broader path when the workflow really depends on wider visibility and richer workspace behavior.

Failure pattern

Mode mismatch

A lot of “connected but weird” Slack states are really mode-choice mistakes.
