Slack

The Bubbles for Slack app connects your Bubbles account to a Slack workspace so you can start recordings without leaving Slack and receive Bubbles notifications where your team already works.

Who this is for

This is the end-user Slack integration built into the Bubbles product. It is separate from the public API and MCP server — those are for building your own tools.

What it does

• Slash commands — /bubbles and /bubble bring up a quick action to start a recording (and a help view).
• Account connection — the first time you use a command, Bubbles asks you to connect your Bubbles account to your Slack identity; after that, commands act as you.
• Notifications — Bubbles sends messages into Slack (for example, when a recording is ready), so your team sees updates in-channel.
• Interactive actions — buttons in those messages (such as Start recording) let you act directly from Slack.

Set it up

1. Add the app to your workspace. Install Bubbles for Slack from the Bubbles product (or your Slack app directory). Slack asks you to authorize the app; it requests the commands and incoming-webhook scopes so it can offer slash commands and post messages.

2. Connect your Bubbles account. Run /bubbles in any channel. If your Slack identity isn’t yet linked to a Bubbles account, the app replies with a Connect to Bubbles prompt — follow it once to link the two. A welcome message is posted when the app is first installed.

3. Use it. Run /bubbles (or /bubble) to start a recording. Add help (for example /bubbles help) to see the help view.

Commands

Command	What it does
/bubbles	Start a recording (prompts you to connect Bubbles first if you haven’t)
/bubble	Same as /bubbles
/bubbles help	Show the help view

Troubleshooting

• The command asks me to connect every time — the connection links your Slack user to a Bubbles account. Complete the Connect to Bubbles prompt once; if it recurs, disconnect and reconnect the app so the link is re-stored.
• No notifications in Slack — confirm the app is still installed in the workspace and that the channel it posts to still exists; reinstalling re-establishes the incoming webhook.

Verification status

The behavior and setup above are documented against the current Bubbles Slack service (its OAuth install flow, the /bubbles and /bubble slash-command handlers, and its notification path). Exercising the live commands requires a Slack workspace with the app installed.
