Feature Request: add capability for agent to execute tasks from message in slack

[yzyw77]

Currently agent is able to search information from slack and do the summary. However I would like to have agent to be able to monitor slack status and execute tasks mentioned in slack as well. Can have some special keyword to trigger agent to start working.

I feel this need as well but right now there is no good way to listen to slack events, which would need a slack app and is usually not allowed in enterprise. As a work around, you could set up a cron job to fetch slack every xx min.

we should look into extracting the slack messages locally using something like https://github.com/rusq/slackdump and reading from there in real time?

Great staff, when you need to query slack data, hitting API rate limit is a concern. But with slackbot, it is less a problem, as the coding agent can just ask slackbot, and slackbot is doing the heavy lifting to search all the information to get an answer.
