Use Ventos in Slack

Use Ventos in Slack for quick questions, status checks, and lightweight tasks without switching to the web app. You can send it a direct message or mention it in a channel where the app has been added.

Before you begin

Your administrator must install the Ventos Slack app for the workspace. If that’s not done yet, ask an administrator to connect Slack to Ventos.

Connect and start a conversation

1. In Settings › Personal Integrations, connect your Slack account. Sign in to the same workspace the admin installed the app on — this links your Slack identity to your Ventos account.
2. DM Ventos directly, or mention it in any channel the app has been added to.
3. Continue in the same thread when you have a follow-up.

What Slack is best for

• DM Ventos for private interactions — the same capabilities as the web chat.
• Tag Ventos in a channel to ask a question or run a task in context.
• Get concise, chat-friendly responses formatted for Slack (bold, lists, links).
• Use every integration your organization has enabled.
• Continue a thread for a multi-turn conversation.
• Upload files — the same file types are supported as on every channel.
• Ask Ventos to DM another team member on Slack — for example, “DM Sarah the client brief on Slack.”
• Ask Ventos to post a message in a channel — for example, “post the weekly report to #relationship-updates.”

Important to know

• Ventos can’t read messages in channels where it hasn’t been mentioned — it only sees conversations directed at it.
• Ventos can’t join or leave channels on its own; an admin adds the app to channels.
• Ventos can’t add emoji reactions, start Huddles, or use other Slack-specific features beyond text replies.
• Slack’s mrkdwn is more limited than the web interface — no tables or complex formatting.
