Slack intake

Send to Iterel

Once a workspace is connected, a teammate can send work to a project from Slack three ways: the Send to Iterel message action on any message, the /iterel slash command, or @-mentioning the app. The message lands in the same Triage queue as every other request, to be promoted into a task with a mission and priority.

Trust and safety

The inbound endpoint verifies Slack's request signature on every call, answers Slack's URL-verification handshake, and resolves the workspace-to-project binding before ingesting. Slack content is treated as untrusted input — quarantined and rate-limited exactly like a public request — so a message can never act as an instruction on its own.

One-time setup

Slack intake needs a Slack app for the workspace. In Project settings → Slack intake, copy the Events Request URL, create a Slack app pointed at it, set its signing secret as the SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET server environment variable, then connect your workspace id. Missing configuration surfaces as a tracked setup task rather than a silent failure.
