The Slack connector extends Bridge’s Slack capabilities beyond what the official Slack MCP provides. Specifically, Bridge adds direct message channel resolution (so you can DM people by name), scheduled message management, and emoji reactions — features that are missing from the standard Slack integration. For channel messaging, search, and reading messages, Bridge works alongside the official Slack MCP server.

How to connect

1

Open the Connectors page

2

Connect Slack

Click Connect next to Slack.
3

Authorize via Slack OAuth

You’ll be redirected to Slack’s authorization page. Choose your workspace and approve the requested permissions.
4

Done

Bridge connects to your Slack workspace. You can now send messages, schedule them, and add reactions from the Command Center.

What you can do

Send direct messages

Open a DM with any Slack user and send them a message — by name or username.

Schedule messages

Send a message to any channel or DM at a specific time in the future. Bridge handles the scheduling so the message goes out even if you’re not online.

Manage scheduled messages

List all messages you have scheduled, and cancel any of them before they go out.

Add emoji reactions

React to any message in a channel with an emoji — useful for acknowledging requests, expressing agreement, or confirming actions.

What Bridge covers

Direct messages

Resolve DM channels by user and send messages directly to any Slack user in your workspace.

Scheduled messages

Create, list, and cancel scheduled messages for any channel or DM.

Emoji reactions

Add any emoji reaction to a specific message using the message timestamp.

Official Slack MCP

Bridge works alongside the official Slack MCP for channel messaging, search, and reading conversations.
Bridge’s Slack connector specifically covers DM channel resolution, scheduled messages, and emoji reactions — capabilities that the official Slack MCP does not include. For other Slack operations like posting to channels, searching messages, and reading channel history, the official Slack MCP handles those automatically alongside Bridge.
To schedule a message for a specific time, include the time and date in your request: “Schedule a message to #sales at 8am Monday.” Bridge handles the timezone automatically based on your workspace settings.
