Slack

The eve CLI scaffolds the channel for you. eve add channel/slack writes agent/channels/slack.ts, adds @vercel/connect, and runs the Connect setup flow:

eve add channel/slack

To wire it up by hand instead, install the framework and the Connect SDK. Slack channels use Vercel Connect for both the outbound bot token and inbound webhook verification:

npm install eve@latest @vercel/connect

Create agent/channels/slack.ts. The channel name is derived from the filename, so no name field is needed:

// agent/channels/slack.tsimport { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
export default slackChannel({  credentials: connectSlackCredentials("slack/my-agent"),});

Link the project and pull OIDC env vars so Connect can authenticate locally:

vercel linkvercel env pull

Create a Slack Connect client and copy its UID (for example slack/my-agent), then attach this project as the webhook trigger destination at the route eve serves (/eve/v1/slack):

vercel connect create slack --triggers

The channel handles mentions, DMs, typing indicators, delivery, and human-in-the-loop consent with sensible defaults. See the Slack channel docs for customizing each behavior.
