FixControl
Slack integration

Slack as a governed action surface

Route intake, answer ticket questions, collect approvals on compact decision cards and keep an audit trail — every write follows scope, permissions, capability health, outbox/retry and audit.

What it does

Intake, questions and approvals where your team already works

Governed intake

Messages and mentions become routed FixControl work items inside your tenant — not an unscoped chatbot conversation.

Ticket questions

Ask what’s open or waiting for approval across FixControl, Jira and Freshdesk, with a pre-intake intent gate so questions don’t become new tickets.

Approvals on decision cards

Plans, patches, replies and deployments arrive as compact decision cards. Approving in Slack is recorded with actor, role and channel.

Cards stay in sync

A decision taken in Slack updates the card and the operational timeline, so the same state is visible in-app and in the thread.

Verified identities

Slack users link to FixControl identities with verified and elevated tiers, so a decision is attributable to a real, authorised person.

Channel-aware replies

Governed replies and updates post back into the thread, with public/shared-channel redaction applied to sensitive detail.

Capabilities & health

Capability-level status, not one green checkmark

Slack may support intake and approvals while a posting path depends on the bot being present in a channel. FixControl shows each capability’s health honestly.

Receive messages & mentions (intake)
Supported

FixControl ingests messages routed to it and turns them into governed work items within the bound project and tenant.

Ticket-question answering
Supported

Answer questions about existing FixControl, Jira and Freshdesk tickets, gated so a question never silently creates an issue.

Approval decision cards
Supported

Post compact cards for plans, patches, replies and deployment gates, and record approve / request-changes decisions with attribution.

Post replies & card updates
Configuration-dependent

Requires the workspace to be linked and the bot present in the channel. Outbound writes route through the outbox with retry and dead-letter handling.

Verified / elevated identity binding
Configuration-dependent

Available once a Slack user links their FixControl identity; elevated decisions may require the elevated tier depending on your governance policy.

Single green ‘connected’ status
Not available — by design

By design. FixControl surfaces capability-level health instead of one checkmark, so a failing write path is visible rather than hidden behind ‘connected’.

How failures are handled

No silent Slack writes

Outbox, retry and audit
Every outbound Slack write — a reply, a card update, an approval acknowledgement — routes through the integration outbox with retry and dead-letter handling. Failures surface in the operational timeline, and approvals taken in Slack are written to the decision ledger with actor, role, channel, evidence and consequence.
FAQ

Common questions

Is Slack just a chatbot in FixControl?+
No. Slack is a governed action surface. It can answer ticket questions, route intake, collect approvals and update cards, but every write follows project scope, permissions, capability health, outbox/retry and audit.
What happens if a Slack post fails?+
Outbound writes route through the integration outbox with retry and dead-letter handling, and the failure is visible in the timeline — FixControl does not silently drop the message or imply it was delivered.
Who can approve from Slack?+
Only users whose Slack identity is linked to an authorised FixControl identity. Decisions are recorded with actor, role and channel, and elevated actions can require the elevated identity tier.
Are approvals from Slack audited?+
Yes. A Slack approval is written to the decision ledger with the role, channel, evidence shown and the consequence, the same as an approval made in-app.
Can sensitive ticket detail leak into a public channel?+
No. Answers and replies respect tenant isolation and channel visibility, and sensitive detail is redacted in public or shared channels.
