Connect Slack to your Laminar workspace to get signal alerts in your channels and to talk to Laminar Agent where your team already works. Once connected, Slack works across every project in the workspace.

​
Connect Slack

  1. Go to the Settings page and select Integrations under Workspace settings in the sidebar. You can also connect from the Slack card in any Signal’s Settings > Alerts section (see Alerts).
  2. Find the Slack card and click Connect to Slack.
  3. You will be redirected to Slack’s authorization page. Select the Slack workspace you want to connect and click Allow.
  4. After authorization, you will be redirected back to Laminar. The Slack card will show a Connected badge.

​
Laminar Agent

Laminar Agent answers questions about your project’s data in plain language, and Slack is one of the places it lives. Mention @Laminar in a connected channel and it replies in the thread:
Slack thread where a user asks Laminar about recent event clusters and how to fix them, and the Laminar app replies with the top clusters, what to fix next, and a recommended fix for file path resolution errors
The agent runs SQL and reads trace context to ground its answer, then posts the reply back into the thread as a Slack message. Follow-up mentions in the same thread continue the conversation. See how else you can interact with Laminar Agent.

​
Respond to an alert for more context

When an alert posts to a Slack channel, reply in that thread and mention @Laminar to dig into what happened. The agent picks up the alert’s signal event and trace from the thread, so you can ask it to explain the root cause, pull the full trace, or run a follow-up query without leaving Slack:
@Laminar why did this fire? Walk me through the trace.

​
Connect a channel to a project

The agent answers about one Laminar project per channel, so each channel is connected to a project before the agent can query its data. There are two ways to connect one:
  • From Slack. Mention @Laminar in a channel that is not yet connected. The agent replies with a project picker listing the projects available to your workspace. Choose one, and the channel is connected. Mention the agent again and it answers from that project’s data.
  • From Laminar. A workspace admin can connect a channel to a project from Workspace → Integrations.

Each channel maps to a single project, so pick the project whose traces the people in that channel care about.

​
Alerts

Create alerts on any Signal that post to a Slack channel of your choice whenever a signal event is detected. Each message contains the signal name, the extracted payload fields, and a link to the trace, so you find out the moment something you care about happens and can jump straight to the run.

Pick the Slack channels for an alert in the Signal’s Settings > Alerts section. That section also has its own Slack card, so you can connect Slack from there without opening workspace settings; both cards manage the same workspace connection. Reports can post to Slack the same way for scheduled rollups.

​
Remove Slack integration

  1. Go to the Settings page and select Integrations under Workspace settings in the sidebar.
  2. On the connected Slack card, click the dropdown menu (three dots).
  3. Select Remove.
  4. Confirm the removal in the dialog.
Removing the integration deletes all alert subscriptions connected to that Slack workspace. This action cannot be undone.
