Slack Interaction Channels for Merlin Agent Builder

Simon Cole, Product Manager

We've introduced Slack Interaction Channels for Merlin Agent Builder.

What's changed?

Slack Interaction Channels for Merlin Agent Builder makes it easier for teams to build and deploy AI agents that operate directly inside Slack.

• Slack agent setup is now guided directly within Merlin Agent Builder, eliminating the need to manually configure Slack apps, manifests, and OAuth settings.
• Multiple agents can now share a single Slack app installation, reducing approval cycles.
• Agent scope (channels, DMs) can be updated directly in Tray without redeploying or editing Slack manifests.
• Supports Slack Block kit, actions and interactivity events out the box.

For details on how to deploy Slack Interactions Channels to your agent, reach out to your customer support team or visit our documentation.
