2. Create an API key and webhook

Create an API key and paste the webhook URL your agent should call back to.

3. Connect Slack

Click Add to Slack, then send a test request from your agent.

What your agent sends

At minimum, your agent sends a question, a short context, and a callback URL. Keep the first request small so you can see the full Slack loop working before adding more logic.

• Question: what should be approved or rejected.
• Context: the short reason your agent is asking.
• Callback URL: where Contro1 sends the answer.
• Source: the agent or integration name.

Supported platforms

The same Slack connection can be used with the supported agent platforms already documented in Contro1.

• Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit for policy-triggered approval workflows.
• Microsoft Teams for AI agent approvals, escalation alerts, and governed operator decisions.
