To reuse an existing Windmill Slack integration, you can leverage the permissions model and the webhook functionality provided by Windill. Here's how you can manage it:- Assign Resources to Slack Group: Ensure that resources and variables you want to use with Slack are shared with the group in Windmill. You can do this by adding them to a folder that is part of the group. This allows the Slack integration to interact with these resources (1) .
- Use Webhooks: Windmill provides autogenerated webhooks for each Script and Flow. These can be triggered from Slack to execute specific scripts or flows. This means you can set up Slack commands that, when used, will send a POST request to the associated webhook URL to run the desired automation (2) (3) .
