Deploy an OpenClaw Slack bot in 3 steps
- At api.slack.com/apps, create an app, add bot scopes under OAuth & Permissions, install it to your workspace, and copy the Bot User OAuth Token (
xoxb-…). - Sign up for VibeOpenClaw Premium and add a model provider key on the API Keys page.

Why host your Slack bot here
A Slack bot needs a always-available backend to receive events and respond. VibeOpenClaw runs your OpenClaw agent in its own container with automatic restarts, so it stays responsive in your workspace 24/7. You bring your own model keys (encrypted with AES-256-GCM) and pay your provider directly — no inference markup.
Also want Telegram or Discord? See OpenClaw Telegram hosting and OpenClaw Discord hosting, or the OpenClaw hosting overview.
Frequently asked questions
How do I host an OpenClaw bot on Slack?+
Create a Slack app at api.slack.com, add the bot scopes you need, install it to your workspace, and copy the bot token. Then on VibeOpenClaw (Premium plan), add a model provider key, create an OpenClaw agent, and paste the Slack token. Your bot answers in Slack, running 24/7 in an isolated container.
Where do I get the Slack token?+
In the Slack API dashboard (api.slack.com/apps), create an app, configure OAuth scopes under "OAuth & Permissions", install the app to your workspace, and copy the Bot User OAuth Token (it starts with xoxb-).
Which plan do I need for Slack?+
Slack is a Premium feature ($48/mo). Premium includes all channels — Telegram, Discord, and Slack — plus up to 3 agents (OpenClaw or Hermes) at 4 GB RAM each, priority support, and usage analytics. Pro ($24/mo) covers Telegram and Discord.
Does my computer need to stay on?+
No. Your OpenClaw agent runs on our servers in its own Docker container with automatic restarts, so it stays available in your Slack workspace independent of your machine.
Can I bring my own model and keys?+
Yes — BYOK. Add your own provider key, pay your provider directly with no markup from us, and your key is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
Can the bot work across multiple channels?+
Yes — once installed to your workspace with the right scopes, it can be added to the channels you choose and respond there, subject to your workspace’s permissions.
Can I run Slack alongside Telegram and Discord?+
Yes. On Premium you can connect all three channels, and run multiple agents — any mix of OpenClaw and Hermes.
