How it works?

01

Listen for messages and mentions

CodeWords monitors public channels where the bot is invited and detects when someone mentions @CodeWords or posts specific keywords. Use these messages to trigger workflows in other apps.

02

Send instant notifications

When something happens in your other apps, CodeWords sends a formatted message to any Slack channel. Customize the message content, add context, and keep your team informed in real time.

03

Build chatbots with @mentions

Create chatbots that respond when team members mention @CodeWords in a channel. The bot can answer questions, fetch data from other systems, or kick off automated processes on your behalf.

04

Create approval workflows with reactions

Post a message requiring approval and let team members react with emoji. CodeWords watches for specific reactions like ✅ or ❌ and triggers the next step in your workflow based on the response.

05

Route messages intelligently

Set up rules to route messages from one channel to another based on content, sender, or keywords. Keep conversations organized and make sure the right people see the right information.

06

Process direct messages

Listen for direct messages sent to the CodeWords bot and use them to trigger workflows. Team members can interact with your automation privately without cluttering channels.

07

Monitor multiple channels at once

Track activity across several public channels simultaneously. CodeWords can listen to different channels for different triggers and respond accordingly, all from a single workflow.

08

Build Custom Chatbots for Your Team

Create helpful bots that respond when someone mentions @CodeWords in a channel. Answer common questions, fetch information from your systems, or guide people through processes without writing code.

Configure

Connect your Slack workspace to CodeWords in just a few clicks. Once connected, invite the CodeWords bot to any public channel you want to monitor or send messages to. Configure which channels to listen to, set up triggers for specific keywords or mentions, and define where notifications should appear. You control which channels the bot can access and what actions it can perform.

FAQs about Slack integration

Contact us
Contact us
What types of Slack channels can CodeWords access?
CodeWords works with public channels in your Slack workspace. The bot needs to be invited to any channel you want it to monitor or send messages to. Once invited, it can listen for messages, respond to mentions, and post notifications to that channel.
Can I build a chatbot that responds to team mentions?
Yes, you can create chatbots that trigger when someone mentions @CodeWords in a public channel where the bot is present. The bot can respond with information, fetch data from connected apps, or start workflows based on what was said in the message.
How do emoji reaction approvals work?
CodeWords can post a message to a Slack channel and then monitor it for emoji reactions. When someone reacts with a specific emoji like ✅ or ❌, CodeWords detects that reaction and uses it to continue your workflow — approving a request, rejecting a submission, or triggering the next step.
Can CodeWords process direct messages?
Yes, CodeWords can listen for and respond to direct messages sent to the bot. This lets team members interact with your workflows privately without posting in channels, perfect for personal requests or sensitive information.
Can I monitor multiple Slack channels at the same time?
Absolutely. CodeWords can monitor multiple public channels simultaneously, each with different triggers and actions. Invite the bot to each channel you want to track, then set up workflows that respond to activity in any or all of those channels.
