Connect your workspace
Open integration settings
In the dashboard, go to Settings → Integrations and find the Slack card.
Connect Slack
Click Connect Slack and authorize the workspace in the popup.
Pick a channel
Choose the channel Glassray should post deviations to. You can send a test message to confirm it’s wired up, then Save Channel.
Invite the bot
Invite the Glassray bot to that channel so it can read threads it’s mentioned in and reply.
Choose when you’re notified
Under Settings → Integrations → Slack, the When to notify control sets how early - and for which severities - deviations get posted to your channel:- Lifecycle stage - Confirmed only (default: the quieter setting - wait until Glassray confirms a deviation recurs before posting) or Suspected onwards (post as soon as a deviation is first suspected, so you can Confirm it from the card).
- Minimum severity - post at any severity (default), major & critical, or critical only.
Using the bot
Mention @Glassray in the channel and describe a misbehavior - or paste a problem, optionally with a trace link. The bot reads the thread and responds in a single reply.Finds the evidence
If you reference a trace, the bot verifies it; if you only describe the behavior, it searches your corpus for matching traces and verifies the best match.
Logs a deviation
When you report a real misbehavior, the bot logs it as a 🔎 Suspected deviation from the conversation, attaching the trace it found - a single report isn’t yet confirmed to recur.
Scans to confirm it
After logging it, the bot kicks a deep-search scan for more examples to confirm it’s a recurring issue, and posts the results back to the thread. The card carries a Confirm button if you already know it’s real.
Answers read-only questions
Ask “what do you already know about X?” or “is the scan done?” and it just reads and answers - it creates nothing.
Automatic vs. a click
The bot acts within its toolset on its own when you ask it to log a problem or clearly report one - it logs the deviation as 🔎 Suspected and starts a scan to confirm it recurs, then posts a deviation card to your channel. From that card you can Confirm it (if you already know it’s a real problem - that proposes a fix) or Dismiss it. For read-only questions it never creates anything.Members of your own workspace get the full toolset; external collaborators connected through Slack get a safe read-and-report subset and can’t trigger broad, metered scans.
Security
The Slack agent’s reasoning loop has no direct Slack access - reading the thread and posting the reply are handled by Glassray’s runner, not by the model. The thread is treated as untrusted input: instructions inside it never override the agent’s rules or expand its toolset.
