You do not have to open the dashboard to ask the Sazabi agent a question. Slack and Microsoft Teams are two of the surfaces a thread works across: mention the agent in a channel and it investigates and replies right there, with a link back to the full thread in Sazabi. By the end of this guide you will have asked a question from chat and confirmed the reply. Setup takes a few minutes if the integration is already connected.

​
Prerequisites

  • The Slack or Microsoft Teams integration must be connected for your organization, under Settings > Integrations. These are organization-level integrations. See Slack and Microsoft Teams integration pages to connect one.
  • The Sazabi bot must be present in the channel you want to use — add it to the channel before mentioning it.
Both connect through a browser OAuth flow you authorize under Settings > Integrations in the dashboard. Both can also be started from the Sazabi CLI — sazabi integrations connect slack or sazabi integrations connect teams opens the authorization page and waits for it to complete (see CLI reference); if the CLI reports that a provider can’t be connected from the CLI in your environment, connect it in the dashboard instead. Adding the bot to a channel and mentioning it happen in Slack or Microsoft Teams — there is no CLI equivalent for those chat-side steps. Once connected, sazabi integrations list shows the connection (filter with --provider slack or --provider teams).

​
Slack

In a channel where the Sazabi bot is present, mention it with your question:
The agent acknowledges the message, investigates, and replies in the thread with what it found. Continue with follow-up messages in the same Slack thread. Sazabi also supports direct messages — message the bot directly to start a private thread.

​
Microsoft Teams

Add the Sazabi bot to a standard Microsoft Teams channel and mention it with your question:
The agent replies in the channel with its findings. Microsoft Teams chat works in standard channels; private and shared channels are not supported.

​
How chat threads relate to dashboard threads

A conversation you start from Slack or Microsoft Teams is a normal Sazabi thread — the same thread you would see in the dashboard, with the same messages, tool calls, and artifacts. The agent’s reply includes a View in Sazabi link that opens that thread in the dashboard, where you can see the full evidence trail and continue there if you prefer.

​
Verify

Confirm the agent answers from chat and links back to the dashboard.
  1. In a channel where the Sazabi bot is present, post: @Sazabi find the most recent ERROR log in this project and summarize it.
  2. The agent reacts to acknowledge, then replies in the thread with a summary grounded in your logs.
  3. The reply includes a View in Sazabi link. Open it and confirm it opens the same thread in the dashboard.
If the bot does not respond, confirm the integration is connected under Settings > Integrations and that the bot has been added to the channel.
