Here’s a comprehensive review of the Slack setup steps we’ve completed and what’s still needed: 🦞

✅ Completed Steps

1. Slack App Created — You created a Slack app in your workspace.
2. Bot Token Configured — Added the xoxb-... bot token to OpenClaw.
3. App-Level Token Configured — Added the xapp-... app-level token for socket mode.
4. Gateway Restarted — The gateway restarted and Slack socket mode is now connected.
5. Plugin Loaded — The Slack plugin shows as loaded in the plugin list.

🔧 Still Needed (Slack-Side Configuration)

1. Event Subscriptions

In your Slack app dashboard (api.slack.com/apps):

• Go to Event Subscriptions
• Turn Enable Events to On
• Under Subscribe to bot events, add:
  • message.channels — for public channel messages
  • message.groups — for private channel messages
  • message.im — for direct messages
  • message.mpim — for group DMs
  • app_mention — for when someone mentions the bot
• Click Save Changes

2. OAuth Scopes (Verify)

In OAuth & Permissions → Bot Token Scopes, ensure these are added:

• chat:write
• channels:history
• channels:read
• groups:history
• groups:read
• im:history
• im:read
• im:write
• mpim:history
• mpim:read
• mpim:write
• app_mentions:read

3. Invite Bot to Channel

In each Slack channel where you want the bot to respond:

• Type /invite @YourBotName to add it to the channel

4. Socket Mode (Verify)

In Socket Mode on the Slack app dashboard:

• Make sure Socket Mode is Enabled
• The app-level token should already be active

🧪 Testing

After completing the above:

1. Send a message in a channel where the bot is invited.
2. Check the logs with tail -f /tmp/openclaw/openclaw-2026-04-05.log | grep slack to see if events are coming through.

Want me to check the logs again after you’ve verified these settings?
