Features
Email & Slack
Talk to your agent from your inbox or Slack
You don't have to be in camelAI to talk to your agent. Send an email or a Slack message — it reads, responds, and takes action on your workspace, just like a normal chat.
Workspace email
Every workspace gets a unique email address like:
bright-mountain-river@camelai.dev
Any workspace member can email this address to start or continue a conversation with the agent — directly from their inbox, without opening camelAI.
How it works
- Find your workspace email
Go to Settings → General in your workspace, or just ask the agent: "What's this workspace's email address?"
- Send an email
Email the workspace address from your work email. Write your request in the body — the agent processes it as a chat message.
- Get a reply
The agent reads your email, takes action in your workspace, and replies to your email thread. Reply back to continue the conversation.
Details
- Threading — standard email threading keeps conversations organized in your email client. Replies continue the same camelAI chat thread.
- Attachments — file attachments are automatically uploaded to your workspace. The agent can read and use them immediately.
- Members only — only workspace members can email the inbox. Emails from non-members are ignored (this is also the spam prevention mechanism).
Slack
Slack integration
Connect Slack to your workspace and message the agent directly from your team's Slack.
Setup
- Add the Slack connection
Go to Settings → Connections and add the Slack integration, or ask the agent to set it up.
- Authenticate via OAuth
Sign in to your Slack workspace and authorize the camelAI bot.
- Start chatting
DM the camelAI bot or mention it in a channel. The agent responds in-thread.
Details
- Full agent turns — Slack messages are processed the same as web chat messages. The agent can read files, run code, query databases, and take any action it could take from the web app.
- Thread continuity — conversations are maintained across messages in the same Slack thread.
