The Slack integration allows you to connect your Slack workspace to Rememberizer, enabling AI applications to search and reference your team's Slack messages and shared files. This integration creates a searchable knowledge base from your conversations, announcements, questions, and decisions captured in Slack.
Before connecting Slack to Rememberizer, ensure you:
Have a Rememberizer account
Have access to a Slack workspace where you have permission to install apps
Understand which channels contain knowledge you want to make searchable
Consider any organizational data policies regarding third-party integrations
Sign in to your Rememberizer account
Navigate to Personal > Your Knowledge tab, or visit
You should see all available knowledge sources, including Slack
Click the "Connect" button on the Slack knowledge source card
You will be redirected to Slack's authorization page
Select the Slack workspace you want to connect (if you belong to multiple workspaces)
Review the permissions Rememberizer is requesting:
Read access to public channels
Read access to private channels you're a member of
Read access to message history
Read access to files
Click "Allow" to install the Rememberizer Slack app to your workspace
After successful authorization, you'll be redirected back to Rememberizer
A side panel will automatically open showing available channels
If the panel doesn't appear, click the "Select" button next to your Slack workspace
In the side panel, browse the list of available channels
Select checkboxes next to channels you want to include
You can filter by channel type (public/private) or search by name
Consider starting with just a few channels for faster initial processing
After selecting channels, click "Save" at the bottom of the panel
Rememberizer will begin downloading, processing, and embedding messages
You'll see a progress indicator as channels are processed
Initial processing may take several minutes to hours depending on the volume of messages
When you connect Slack to Rememberizer, the following occurs:
Authentication: Secure OAuth connection established with refresh token capability
Channel Selection: Only your selected channels are accessed
Message Retrieval: Messages and threaded replies are downloaded in batches
Content Processing:
Messages are chunked into appropriate segments
Vector embeddings are generated to capture semantic meaning
Files shared in messages are processed based on supported formats
Continuous Updates: New messages are periodically synced (approximately every 6 hours)
Rememberizer automatically keeps your Slack knowledge up to date:
Incremental Updates: Only new or changed messages are processed after initial indexing
Update Schedule: Automatic synchronization occurs approximately every 6 hours
Thread Monitoring: New replies in threads are detected and indexed
Manual Refresh: Force an immediate update by clicking the "Refresh" icon next to your Slack connection
The Slack integration includes several security measures:
OAuth Security: Industry-standard authorization protocol with token encryption
Selective Access: Only processes channels you explicitly select
Encrypted Storage: All message content is encrypted before storage
No Message Alteration: Read-only access to your Slack workspace (cannot post or modify messages)
Permission Scopes: Limited to only the permissions needed for search functionality
Account Linking: Connection is specific to your Rememberizer account only
Problem: Unable to connect to Slack or authorization errors. Solutions:
Ensure you have permissions to install apps in your workspace
Try disconnecting and reconnecting the integration
Check if your organization uses Slack Enterprise Grid with app restrictions

Problem: Indexing is taking a very long time. Solutions:
Start with fewer channels and add more gradually
Check if channels have an extremely large message history
Verify your internet connection is stable
Problem: Integration stops working after some time. Solutions:
Reconnect the integration through the Knowledge page
Check if the Slack app was removed from your workspace
