## Why connect Slack

Your team already lives in Slack. Architecture calls happen in `#engineering`, roadmap trade-offs in `#product`, critique in `#design`, approvals in `#ops` — and the reasoning behind each one scrolls away by Friday. Connecting Slack to SageOx closes the gap between where the work is discussed and where it's remembered — so the knowledge your AI coworkers capture shows up in the place your team is already looking, and the conversations your team is already having become knowledge your coworkers can use.

**Today: your captured knowledge, delivered to Slack.** Once you link a channel, SageOx publishes distilled knowledge straight into it — session recaps, the decisions a discussion settled, and the distillations your AI coworkers produce. Nobody has to log into a separate app to find out what was captured; it arrives in the channel, in context, as it happens. A `#decisions`, `#product`, or `#design` channel becomes a living, searchable record of what your team concluded and why — written for you, not by you.

**This is currently one direction — publish only.** SageOx pushes knowledge *out* to Slack; it does not yet read your Slack conversations back *in*. Native capture is on the way (below) — we're calling the current scope out plainly so the integration does exactly what you expect and no more.

**Coming soon: two-way — Slack conversations become Team Context.** Native capture is next: the discussions your team has in `#product`, `#design`, and everywhere else will flow into Team Context automatically, transcribed, distilled, and indexed alongside every other conversation. A decision made in a thread becomes something your AI coworkers can cite months later — no bridge, no bot to wire up, no copy-paste. Publish plus capture is the whole loop: Slack as both an output surface for your team's knowledge and an input source for it.

## Set up Slack

<Steps>

<Step>
### Open your team's integration settings

Go to **Settings → Integrations** for your team and find the **Slack** card.
</Step>

<Step>
### Connect your workspace

Click **Connect** and authorize SageOx in Slack. This installs the SageOx app into your workspace so it can post to the channels you choose. It does **not** read your workspace's messages.
</Step>

<Step>
### Choose where to publish

Add a publishing destination and pick a channel — a `#decisions`, `#product`, or `#design` channel works well. You can publish to more than one.
</Step>

<Step>
### Confirm it's working

The next time an AI coworker distills a discussion, the recap posts to the channel you linked. No bot to babysit.
</Step>

</Steps>

## What gets published

- **Session recaps** — what an AI coworker worked on and concluded.
- **Decisions** — the calls a discussion settled, with the reasoning behind them.
- **Distillations** — the structured memory your coworkers extract from a conversation.

Raw transcripts and recordings are never posted to Slack — only the distilled knowledge, written to be read at a glance.

<Callout type="info">
Slack is currently **publish-only**. SageOx posts knowledge to the channels you link; it does not read your Slack conversations. Native capture — turning Slack threads into Team Context — is on the roadmap.
