Slack & Teams Workflow Bot: AI Automation Inside Your Workspace
Deploy OpenClaw inside Slack or Microsoft Teams to automate standups, route approvals, summarize channels, and trigger cross-platform workflows.
Your team already lives in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Why make them leave to interact with AI? OpenClaw deploys directly into your workspace channels, bringing full agentic automation to the tools your team already uses every day -- no context switching, no new apps to learn.
WHO BENEFITS: Engineering teams running daily standups across time zones. Operations teams routing purchase approvals and escalations. Marketing teams summarizing campaign channels weekly. Customer success teams tracking client mentions and sentiment. Any team that wants AI superpowers without leaving their chat app.
AUTOMATED STANDUPS: At 9 AM, OpenClaw DMs each team member asking three questions: what did you finish yesterday, what are you working on today, and any blockers? Responses are compiled into a formatted standup summary posted to the team channel. No more awkward video calls for quick status updates. Async, clean, and searchable.
CHANNEL INTELLIGENCE: Tag OpenClaw in any channel and ask "summarize this week" -- get a bullet-point digest of key discussions, decisions, and unresolved threads. Ask "what did marketing discuss about the Q3 campaign?" and get context without scrolling through 500 messages.
APPROVAL ROUTING: Set up workflows where expense reports, time-off requests, or deployment approvals go through OpenClaw. It routes to the right approver based on amount or type, sends reminders for pending items, and logs everything for compliance. All without leaving Slack or Teams.
HOW TO SET THIS UP WITH OPENCLAW: Step 1 -- Deploy OpenClaw at /checkout and select Slack or Teams as your channel. Step 2 -- Install the bot in your workspace and invite it to relevant channels. Step 3 -- Configure standup schedules, summary triggers, and approval workflows via simple commands. Step 4 -- OpenClaw connects to your external tools (GitHub, Jira, CRM) for cross-platform automation. Step 5 -- Your team interacts naturally -- mention, DM, or slash command.
CROSS-PLATFORM WORKFLOWS: The real power is bridging tools. "When a Jira ticket moves to Done, post in #releases and update the client in HubSpot." "When someone mentions a bug in #support, create a GitHub issue and assign the on-call engineer." OpenClaw makes your workspace the command center for your entire stack.
Transform your Slack or Teams from a chat app into an AI-powered operations center. Visit /checkout to deploy your workspace bot, and see what else OpenClaw can automate at /use-cases.
