Urgent tickets and approval requests post straight to the Slack channels your engineers already watch. The technician who owns the ticket gets @mentioned, so approvals get claimed instead of quietly expiring.
Each ticket queue goes to the channel that owns it: L1 to one, onboarding to another, everything else to a catch-all. The routing is plain and deterministic, so an approval or alert always shows up exactly where you'd expect.
An approval sitting unclaimed in a busy channel is a ticket about to stall — and when a Human-in-the-Loop approval times out, it drops back to the service desk. DaemonLayer @mentions the technician who owns the ticket, so the right person is notified personally and the approval actually gets actioned.
Matching is by email, and the result is cached after the first lookup — so every mention after that is instant.
There's no Slack app to build and no credentials to wrangle — connect your workspace in a single click and you're live. DaemonLayer asks for exactly what it needs to post and to mention, and nothing more. When a client's security questionnaire asks what your tools can see, that's an easy answer.
It never reads messages and never opens DMs.
Notification routing
Team channels connect a Slack or Teams channel to the queues that team owns. System alerts still reach your notification email and the in-app bell. It all lives under Notification Settings.
Common questions about this integration
No. DaemonLayer provides a shared Slack app that you install into your workspace with a single OAuth step — the same one-click model as the Microsoft Teams integration. There's no app to register, and no client ID or secret to enter by hand. DaemonLayer stores the workspace bot token encrypted.
Yes. Both the branded channel delivery and the technician @mention lookups come from this single OAuth install. Until Slack is connected, the option to add a Slack notification destination stays disabled. Microsoft Teams channels are configured separately and don't depend on this.
Yes. Each Slack channel is bound to its own incoming webhook, so you create one notification destination per channel — all under the single Slack integration you installed once. Assign each destination the queues (and optionally a single client) it should hear about, and DaemonLayer routes tickets to every matching channel.
Only what the three scopes allow: users:read and users:read.email to resolve a technician's email to their Slack user ID, and incoming-webhook to post to the channels you pick. The integration never reads messages and never opens DMs. Messages are delivered through app-generated incoming webhooks, so posts appear under your DaemonLayer app's name and icon.
Mentions are matched by email: the assignee's PSA email must match the email on their Slack account. If the integration isn't connected, the assignee has no email on record, or Slack returns users_not_found, the post still goes out — just without the personal mention. Notifications are never dropped or delayed because a mention couldn't be resolved.
If you connected before branded channel delivery was added, click Reconnect Slack once so DaemonLayer can request the incoming-webhook scope. Slack can't add a new scope to an existing token silently, so a one-time reconnect is required.
Connect your PSA, and DaemonLayer starts triaging, resolving, and routing, no scripting, no setup calls. Cancel anytime.
