#What Antimetal does with Slack

• Investigate automatically when an alert fires in a connected channel
• Investigate on demand when someone replies @Antimetal in an alert thread
• Post root cause analysis and suggested fixes directly in the thread
• Deliver a weekly digest every Monday that suppresses noise and groups alerts by root cause

#Connecting Slack

Prerequisites

• A Slack workspace where you have permission to install apps
• At least one alert channel where the bot should operate

1. Connect Slack

   From the Antimetal dashboard, go to Settings > Integrations and click Connect Slack. You'll be redirected to Slack to authorize the app in your workspace.

2. Add the bot to your alert channels

   Invite the bot with /invite @Antimetal, or add it from the channel's member settings.

3. Verify the installation

   The bot posts a welcome message in the channel confirming it's active and ready to investigate alerts.

4. Enable auto-investigations (optional)

   Auto-investigations are enabled per alert, not per channel. In the Antimetal dashboard go to Settings > Issues, select an alert, and toggle on Auto-investigate. When that alert fires, Antimetal investigates and posts results in the thread.

5. Set up the weekly digest (optional)

   In the channel where you want digests delivered, run /digest setup. Antimetal confirms the delivery channel and schedule; the first digest posts the next Monday at 9 AM Eastern. Run /digest run for an immediate preview, or /digest off to stop the schedule.

#Permissions and access

The bot has no access to channels it hasn't been explicitly invited to. Slack message content is not persisted — lightweight metadata such as alert identifiers and investigation status may be temporarily retained for tracking. AI-generated responses may occasionally be inaccurate or incomplete; always verify suggested actions before applying them to production.
