Trigger and interact with tasks from Slack. DM the bot for private tasks, or mention @Niteshift in a channel to start a team-visible one.

​
Setup

1

Install the Slack app

Open Settings → Integrations → Slack and click Add to Slack. The OAuth flow installs Niteshift workspace-wide.
2

Invite the bot to channels

Run /invite @Niteshift in any channel where you want to trigger tasks. The bot only sees channels it’s been invited to.

​
How to use

DM the bot for private tasks. Only you see the conversation:
Slack direct message with Niteshift showing a user prompt and Niteshift starting work on the task.
Mention @Niteshift in a channel for team-visible tasks. The bot starts with your prompt, plus the thread and recent messages in the channel as context. It will keep you updated in the thread as it works.
Slack thread with a Datadog alert, a user asking Niteshift to identify a root cause and open a pull request, and Niteshift responding with a root cause and task links.
Reply in the same Slack thread to send follow-up prompts to the same task. The agent picks up your reply and continues working. Other members of your team can reply in the same thread to create their own independent tasks.
Slack is a natural place for “respond to a production alert” workflows. With an MCP server like Datadog or Sentry posting alerts to a channel, you can reply @Niteshift fix this and the agent picks up the alert context as part of the prompt.
