Channel surfing!
Hyper for Slack
Read, search, and send messages in your Slack workspace, as you.
Try asking Hyper
- “What did the team decide about the launch date in #product this week?”
- “Summarize the threads that mention me from while I was out.”
How Hyper works with Slack
What Hyper reads
Hyper keeps a searchable copy of the last year of messages in every public channel, including ones you did not join, the private channels you are in, and your direct messages. It copies each thread with its replies, who wrote each message, and the channel name. It does not copy group direct messages or what is inside files. Slack lets apps read only a few messages each minute, so the first copy of a large workspace can take days. On a free Slack plan, Slack shows only the last 90 days. When you ask, Hyper can also search all of Slack and read any conversation, file, pinned item, reminder, or profile that you can see.
What Hyper can do
Send, schedule, edit, and delete messages, with files. Add reactions and pins. Create, rename, and archive channels, set their topic, and add or remove people. Set reminders, your status, and do not disturb. Hyper cannot use canvases, lists, or bookmarks. Hyper asks you before each action. You cannot choose to always allow these actions.
Before you connect
Hyper can read every channel and direct message that you can see, including private ones. Messages that Hyper sends show your name, and people see them at once. Channels shared with other companies (Slack Connect) include people outside your company. Anyone in a channel can post a message that hides instructions that try to trick an assistant, so check each change before you approve it. Your Slack admin can require approval before you connect apps.
