Fliiq integrates with Slack two ways: outbound messaging via the slack skill, and a real-time listener in the daemon that responds to DMs and @-mentions.
Fliiq gets its own Slack app in your workspace. You message it directly (DM) or mention it in a channel it’s been invited to, the same way you’d loop in a teammate.

​
Setup

1

Create a Slack app

Go to api.slack.com/apps and create a new app. Enable Socket Mode under Settings — this lets the daemon receive events over a websocket without exposing a public endpoint (important if it’s running behind NAT).
2

Subscribe to events

Under Event Subscriptions, add app_mention and message.im. This covers channel @-mentions and direct messages.
3

Generate tokens

Generate an app-level token (xapp-...) for Socket Mode, and install the app to your workspace to get a bot token (xoxb-...).
4

Add tokens to .env

.env
5

Restart the daemon

SLACK_ALLOWED_CHANNELS is optional, unlike Telegram’s required chat ID allowlist. Workspace membership and channel invitation are already a real access gate. Set SLACK_ALLOWED_CHANNELS (comma-separated channel IDs) if you want to further restrict which channels Fliiq responds in.

Outbound: slack skill

Send a message, react, pin, or read history from any Fliiq session:

Real-Time Listener

When the daemon starts and SLACK_BOT_TOKEN + SLACK_APP_TOKEN are set, Fliiq runs a Socket Mode listener that:
  1. Connects over websocket — no public endpoint or reverse proxy required
  2. Responds only to DMs and @-mentions — never unaddressed channel chatter. A channel mention fires both app_mention and message events; message is only handled for DMs to avoid double replies
  3. Acks events immediately, then processes — agent turns can outlast Slack’s 3-second retry window, so acking first (plus dedup by event ID) prevents duplicate replies on redelivery
  4. Shows a loading indicator via agents.sessions.setStatus while the agent works
  5. Shares the unified conversation store with Telegram, email, and SMS — context carries across channels and daemon restarts

​
Using It

Once the daemon is running, DM Fliiq’s Slack app or @-mention it in any channel it’s in. It responds using the full agent loop — same skills, same memory, same capabilities as the CLI.
