The «Сам Решу» agent in your Slack

Рабочий мессенджер: агент отвечает в личке с ботом и в каналах Slack, куда бота пригласили

## Integration scenarios

### Replies in direct messages and channels
The agent answers in direct messages with the bot, and in a channel the bot was invited to it answers a message that mentions the bot in that message's thread.

### Buttons and approvals
A question or an approval request arrives as a message with buttons, and the decision is one press right in Slack.

### Task reports in a channel
A scheduled task's result arrives in the channel the bot was invited to, without reminders.

## How to connect

**Before you connect**

### Press «Connect»
A Slack window opens. Pick the workspace the agent should work in, if you have several.
