Integrations

Slack

Turn conversations into work and use Maya without leaving Slack.

The Slack integration connects a Slack workspace to one FortyOne workspace. People link their own identities before FortyOne returns private workspace data or creates work for them.

Connect Slack

  1. A FortyOne workspace administrator opens Settings → Integrations → Slack.
  2. Select Connect Slack, choose the correct Slack workspace, and approve the installation.
  3. Use Resync channels after channel access changes.
  4. Each member follows the private account-link prompt the first time FortyOne needs their identity.

Slack never grants additional FortyOne permissions. Every command, Maya answer, and preview uses the linked member’s current workspace and team access.

Useful behavior

  • /fortyone Prepare the launch handoff opens a prefilled work-item form.
  • A message action keeps a link back to the source conversation.
  • Important Maya changes may require an explicit confirmation before they run.
  • Administrators can add workspace-specific terminology and operating guidance for Maya in Slack settings.

Disconnect

Open the connected workspace menu under Settings → Integrations → Slack and choose Disconnect workspace. Slash commands, message actions, previews, and Maya responses stop for that installation.
