Coco + Slack

Connect Slack and Coco surfaces activity in the channels where your team works — workflow status, items waiting on approval, deal alerts, stalled-deal flags, campaign-launch confirmations. Coco reads channel context where you grant it scope and posts updates back where humans need them. The first post to any new channel is approval-gated, so nothing lands somewhere unexpected. Once you've approved a recurring pattern, Coco posts autonomously inside the guardrails you set. About 1 credit per posted update. Reads, drafts, and reasoning are free of approval.

What Coco does with Slack today

Slack is where most GTM teams already live. Coco operates as the surface that puts agent activity in front of humans without dragging them into another tab.

Surface approvals. When Coco needs your judgment on a draft, a write, or a workflow, it can post the approval prompt to a Slack channel or DM you've authorized. You approve or edit in Slack; Coco picks it up and runs. The round-trip is faster than opening Coco's web app every time. About 1 credit per posted prompt.

Post agent updates. Every workflow Coco runs can write a status update to a Slack channel — "drafted 12 follow-ups for review," "enriched 47 HubSpot contacts," "flagged 5 stalled deals from the pipeline review." The result is a quiet feed of GTM activity that your team sees alongside the rest of the day's work. About 1 credit per update.

Alert on stalled deals. When a deal in your CRM goes silent past your threshold, Coco can post the alert to the relevant deal channel or your sales-ops channel — with the deal context, the last-touch history, and a drafted re-engagement message. Approve in Slack; Coco sends. About 5-7 credits for a stalled-deal sweep on a small batch. See reactivate stalled deals →.

Confirm campaign launches. When Coco preps a marketing campaign — segment built, copy drafted, sequence ready — it can post the launch summary to your marketing channel. The team sees what's queued and what needs final review. About 1-2 credits per launch summary. See launch marketing campaigns →.

On the roadmap: take commands from Slack DMs. For Founder-tier users, accepting goals via DM is in development — "draft follow-ups for any deal silent more than 14 days" — with the plan card surfacing back in the DM thread. Not shipped today.

How to connect

The connection uses Slack's standard app-install flow.

1. Go to /app/integrations in Coco.
2. Pick Slack.
3. Install the Coco app to your workspace. Grant the scopes for channels you want Coco to read/post in.
4. Pick the default channels for approvals, updates, and alerts. You can change these any time.
5. Coco confirms the connection and posts a one-line "Coco connected" test message to your chosen channel so you can verify.

Setup runs under five minutes. Coco doesn't post to a channel until you've authorized it for that workflow, so the first post to a new channel always passes through your approval.

Approval gates by action type

The default posture is "ask before posting somewhere new; run autonomously once the pattern is approved."

Once you've approved a recurring workflow — say, "post stalled-deal alerts to #sales-ops daily" — Coco runs that one autonomously inside the guardrails. New channels, new patterns, and elevated actions (mentions, broadcasts) keep the gate on. See how Coco's approval model works →.

Workflows that use Slack

Slack is rarely the workflow itself; it's the surface where the workflow surfaces. The common patterns:

• Stalled-deal alerts. Coco watches your CRM, drafts re-engagement messages, posts the alert to your sales-ops or deal channel. Approve in Slack; Coco runs the next step. Pairs with HubSpot → or Salesforce as the source of truth.
• Approval routing. When Coco needs a human on a draft (cold outreach batch, CRM mass update, marketing send), the approval prompt lands in Slack so the right person can react in seconds. Pairs with follow-up automation →.
• Campaign-launch confirmations. Marketing-channel posts when a campaign is queued and waiting for final review. Pairs with launch marketing campaigns →.
• Workflow status digests. Daily or weekly summaries of what Coco ran, what's queued, and what's blocked. Helpful for GTM leaders running a team that uses Coco.
• Deal-channel context. When a deal advances stages or hits a milestone, Coco can post a context summary to the deal's channel — last activity, next-step, who's owning it.

Frequently asked questions

Will Coco read everything in my Slack?

No — only the channels and DMs you grant scope to. Coco reads what's needed to complete the workflow you asked for. You can audit and revoke scopes any time, and any channel Coco isn't explicitly scoped to is invisible to it.

What if I don't want Coco posting to a channel?

Don't authorize that channel. The first post to any new channel is approval-gated; if you never approve, Coco never posts there. You can also revoke a previously-approved channel at any point in /app/integrations.

Can Coco use Slack-only as the interface?

Not today. Coco's web app remains the source of truth for plan cards, audit logs, and credit-tracking. Slack is a surface for approvals, alerts, and status updates. DM-based goal-setting is on the roadmap for Founder-tier users.

Does Coco work with Slack Connect (external channels)?

Yes, with the same scoping rules. If you've granted scope to an external channel, Coco can post there. Most teams keep external channels out of scope by default — easy to do and recommended unless you have a specific reason to include them.

What's the difference between Coco posting and a Slack bot like Workflow Builder?

Workflow Builder triggers fixed actions on fixed events. Coco operates more like a teammate: it watches workflows across multiple tools, decides what's worth surfacing in Slack, drafts the message, and posts (with approval) when the post earns a place in the channel. Less "trigger fires, action runs"; more "co-worker noticed, co-worker pinged."

Get started

If your team already lives in Slack and the GTM work that needs human attention is currently buried in CRM tabs and Outreach reports, the Slack integration takes about five minutes to set up and starts surfacing useful activity the same day.
