Connect GitHub to Slack
Automate GitHub and Slack with AI
Operator.io runs your personal agent on OpenClaw and points it at both GitHub and Slack. It can watch a repo and post new pull requests and issues into the channel your team reads, then let anyone triage from chat by asking it to label, assign, or summarize what changed. Ask for the state of a repo and it reads GitHub and answers in the thread.
It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.
What your agent can do with GitHub and Slack
What your agent does in GitHub
Abort Repository Migration
Tool to abort a repository migration that is queued or in progress. Use when you need to cancel an ongoing migration operation.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a PENDING repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Add app access restrictions
Adds GitHub Apps to the list of apps allowed to push to a protected branch. The branch must already have protection rules with restrictions enabled. This endpoint only works for organization repositories, not personal repositories. Apps...
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a GitHub user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation ma...
Add assignees to an issue
Adds assignees to a GitHub issue. This action only adds users - it does not remove existing assignees. Changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's GitHub account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the...
What your agent does in Slack
Add call participants
Registers new participants added to a Slack call.
Add emoji
Adds a custom emoji to a Slack workspace given a unique name and an image URL; subject to workspace emoji limits.
Add an emoji alias
Adds an alias for an existing custom emoji in a Slack Enterprise Grid organization.
Add Enterprise user to workspace
Adds an Enterprise user to a workspace. Use when you need to assign an existing Enterprise Grid user to a specific workspace with optional guest restrictions.
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a Slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) to Slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external_id` and an `external_url` accessible by Slack.
How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between GitHub and Slack, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from GitHub, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Slack without you mapping a single field.
You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
Common questions about GitHub and Slack
- How do I connect GitHub and Slack to Operator?
- You authorize GitHub and Slack once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
- What can my agent do across GitHub and Slack?
- Tell it the job and it moves between GitHub and Slack as one task, choosing which actions to run on each side. There is nothing to map and no trigger to configure; you give instructions the way you would to a person.
- Can my agent keep GitHub and Slack in sync?
- Yes. It can watch GitHub and act in Slack, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
- Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
- No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
