How it works with WKIL

  1. 1
    Choose the integration
    Add Slack to your agent from inside the WKIL platform.
  2. 2
    Grant the permissions it needs
    Define precisely what the agent can access and perform.
  3. 3
    Test, then run it
    Test actions before they go live, with human approval where needed.
Permissions always stay in your control — you can scope access and require human approval before any sensitive action.

FAQ

Can agents only post in specific channels?

Yes — channel access is scoped during setup, so an agent can only act where it has been explicitly permitted.
