Installation Steps

​
Working With the Slack App

To start a new conversation, you can mention @openhands in a new message or a thread inside any Slack channel. Once a conversation is started, all thread messages underneath it will be follow-up messages to OpenHands. To send follow-up messages for the same conversation, mention @openhands in a thread reply to the original message. You must be the user who started the conversation.

Pro tip

You can mention a repo name when starting a new conversation in the following formats
  1. “My-Repo” repo (e.g @openhands in the openhands repo ...)
  2. “All-Hands-AI/OpenHands” (e.g @openhands in All-Hands-AI/OpenHands ...)
The repo match is case insensitive. If a repo name match is made, it will kick off the conversation. If the repo name partially matches against multiple repos, you’ll be asked to select a repo from the filtered list. slack-pro-tip.png
