<IntegrationSection title="Overview" icon="eye">
  Slack is a team communication platform for conversations, coordination, and
  collaborative work. Novu Connect gives your existing agent a presence in Slack
  without requiring you to build and maintain Slack-specific conversation
  infrastructure.
</IntegrationSection>

<IntegrationSection title="How it works" icon="refresh-cw">
  Novu Connect receives Slack messages and threaded replies, normalizes the
  conversation context, and routes them to your agent. It then sends the agent's
  response back to the correct conversation with support for Block Kit messages,
  actions, approvals, typing states, read states, and messages that update in
  place.
</IntegrationSection>

<IntegrationSection title="Configure" icon="settings">
From your agent project, run:

`npx novu connect --channel slack`

Complete the Slack authorization flow, then follow the CLI prompt to connect your existing agent runtime.
