How It Works

Get up and running with Slack automation in minutes

1

Connect Your Workspace

Link your Slack workspace to Autonoly with a single OAuth click. Autonoly registers as a bot in your workspace with the permissions you select.

2

Define Your Triggers

Choose what kicks off your workflow — a keyword in a channel, a button click, a new user joining, or a scheduled time. Autonoly listens in real time.

3

Build Your Automation Logic

Use Autonoly's visual builder to define what happens next: route messages, call external APIs, update databases, send notifications, or wait for user input.

4

Send Rich Interactive Messages

Autonoly composes Block Kit messages with buttons, dropdowns, and forms. User responses flow back into your automation to drive further actions.

5

Monitor and Iterate

Track message delivery, button clicks, and workflow outcomes from the Autonoly dashboard. Adjust rules and templates without redeploying.
