Hermes Agent connects to Slack, and the official documentation recommends using Slack bot + Socket Mode. You'll need your Slack app's app token, bot token, necessary scopes, and a home channel to receive scheduled tasks, proactive notifications, and cron results.
Basic steps
- Create an app in the Slack API background.
- Enable Socket Mode to generate an app-level token.
- Add bot scopes, such as reading messages, sending messages, channel history, and more.
- Install the app to your workspace and invite the bot to the channel.
- Run

Why can private chats go back to the channel and not back?
Most of them are scopes, channel invite, or channel type incorrect. Private channels also confirm that the bot has been invited and has permission to read private channel messages.
In a word: the core of Slack's configuration is Socket Mode, two tokens, scopes, and home channel.
