Slack
Last updated:
Palette connects to your Slack workspace and reads messages and activity from the channels you choose.
| Capability | Details |
|---|---|
| Reads | Text messages, channel metadata, user profiles |
| Doesn't read | DMs between users, file attachments, edited/deleted messages |
| Scope | Per-workspace. One Slack workspace connects to one Palette organization. |
What Palette reads
- Messages in connected channels (text content, real-time)
- Channel metadata (name, member count, archived status)
- User profiles (name, email, timezone, role)
What Palette doesn't read
- DMs between users
- File or attachment contents
- Edited or deleted message content
- Messages without text
DMs sent to Palette may be processed separately as check-ins. They are not ingested as ordinary channel messages.
What you control
You choose which channels to connect. Palette only reads from channels you explicitly add. Disconnect a channel and Palette stops reading it.
Connection
Per-workspace. One Slack workspace connects to one Palette organization. Channels can be scoped per team within Palette.
