Setting Up the Slack Integration

Before building your first flow, connect Flowhunt to Slack by following these steps:

Access the Integrations Tab

Log in to your Flowhunt.io account and go to the Integrations tab on the dashboard.

Choose Slack

Select Slack from the available integrations to begin the setup.

Authorize Slack Access

You’ll be redirected to Slack’s login page. Provide your credentials and workspace URL.
Pro Tip: Your workspace URL is visible in the top-left corner of your Slack app.

Grant Permissions

Allow Flowhunt the necessary permissions to read messages, respond, and interact within your Slack workspace.

Once these steps are completed, your Slack integration is live, and you’re ready to create your first Slackbot flow.

Building a Slackbot Flow

With the integration set up, it’s time to create a Slackbot flow using Flowhunt’s intuitive no-code interface.

1. Add the “Slack Message Received” Component

This component serves as the starting point for your flow, listening for Slack messages and triggering actions.

• Configure the Channel and Workspace: Choose whether to monitor specific channels or the entire workspace. For better organization, create a dedicated channel (e.g., #ai-assistant).
• Enable “Only Trigger on Mention”: Ensure the bot responds only when directly mentioned (e.g., @flowhunt) to prevent unnecessary replies.

2. Add the AI Agent Component

The AI Agent acts as the brain of your Slackbot, generating intelligent and relevant responses.

• Backstory: Define the bot’s role (e.g., “You are a knowledgeable and friendly Slack assistant”).
• Goal: Set its primary objective, such as “Provide accurate and helpful answers using all accessible resources.”

3. Incorporate Tools to Enhance the AI Agent

Expand your bot’s functionality with these tools:

• Google Search Tool: Perform real-time web searches to provide precise responses to user queries.
• URL Retriever: Allow the bot to extract and summarize information from links or documents shared in Slack.

Flowhunt supports additional tools that can be customized to meet your team’s specific requirements.

4. Add the LLM Llama 3.2 3B Component

Connect the LLM Llama 3.2 3B component to harness its robust language capabilities. Known for its efficiency and scalability, Llama 3.2 3B excels at processing natural language inputs and generating accurate, contextual responses tailored to your team’s needs.

5. Add the “Slack Send Message” Component

This component enables the bot to send responses back to Slack, completing the interaction.

• Configure the Channel and Workspace: Ensure these settings match the ones used in the “Slack Message Received” component.

6. Save and Test Your Flow

When your flow is ready:

• Save the configuration in Flowhunt.
• Open Slack and navigate to the designated channel.
• Mention the bot (e.g., @flowhunt) to test its functionality.

Congratulations! Your Slackbot, powered by Llama 3.2 3B, is now ready to assist your team with efficiency and intelligence.
