Connect Slack as a Support Channel
08 Jul 2026 · Chatku Team · 1 min read
Slack makes a surprisingly good support front-end for internal teams. Here's how to wire it up.
Steps
- Create a Blank app at api.slack.com/apps
- Add the bot scopes for messages and channels
- Point Event Subscriptions at your Chatku webhook URL
- Invite the bot to the channel you want to monitor
Important: leave Socket Mode OFF
Socket Mode delivers events over a WebSocket instead of your HTTP webhook — which means Chatku never receives them. Keep it disabled so events reach the webhook.
Once connected, both direct messages and channel posts flow into your inbox.
