How to connect OpenAI GPT Assistants and Slack
Create a New Scenario to Connect OpenAI GPT Assistants and Slack
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a OpenAI GPT Assistants, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, OpenAI GPT Assistants or Slack will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find OpenAI GPT Assistants or Slack, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the OpenAI GPT Assistants Node
Select the OpenAI GPT Assistants node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the OpenAI GPT Assistants and Slack Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that donβt require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring OpenAI GPT Assistants, Slack, and any additional nodes, donβt forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the OpenAI GPT Assistants and Slack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OpenAI GPT Assistants and Slack (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect OpenAI GPT Assistants and Slack
Slack + OpenAI GPT Assistants + Google Calendar: When a new message is posted in a Slack channel, it is sent to an OpenAI GPT Assistant for summarization. A follow-up task is then created in Google Calendar based on the summary.
Slack + OpenAI GPT Assistants + Notion: Daily discussions in a Slack channel are summarized by an OpenAI GPT Assistant. Key decisions from the summary are then logged in a Notion database.
