- Operational transparency: Keep teams aligned with real-time updates.
Overview of the Integration Stack on TypingMind
Typing Mind serves as the orchestration layer that manages interactions between AI models and third-party platforms like Slack. It supports plugin-based extensions that allow seamless communication across services, making it an ideal choice for integrating AI agents with collaborative tools.
Following steps are the guideline on how to automate your data analysis and Slack report on TypingMind platform:
- Connecting Slack with TypingMind
- Build custom AI Agents for data analysis
- Integrate your data to the Agent for analyzing data and sending reports to Slack automatically.
Connecting Slack on TypingMind
1. Initial Setup in Typing Mind
- Access the Typing Mind (or TypingMind Admin Panel if you are using the Team version)
- Navigate to the Plugins section.
- Activate the Slack Message Notifier plugin.
This plugin is responsible for message delivery and requires OAuth authentication to communicate securely with Slack.
2. Creating a Slack Application
- Visit Slack API Console and go to “Your Apps.”
- Create a new app from scratch, naming it and assigning it to the appropriate workspace.
3. Configuring OAuth Permissions
- Go to OAuth & Permissions in your Slack app settings.
- Input the OAuth Redirect URL from Typing Mind.
- Go to OAuth Callback URL within the Plugin settings in the app and copy
- Add the following Bot Token Scopes:
chat:write– To post messages.channels:read– To access public channels.users:read– To identify and mention users.
These permissions are foundational to enabling dynamic interaction between TypingMind and your Slack workspace.
4. Finalizing the Connection
- Switch to Basic Information tab on your Slack app and copy Client ID and Client Secret
- In Typing Mind, enter the saved Client ID and Client Secret into the Slack plugin configuration.
- Authenticate your Slack workspace to use the plugin
- Save the credentials to establish a secure connection.
Once this is complete, Typing Mind is authorized to relay content from TypingMind to Slack.
5. Activating and Verifying the Bot
To ensure the Slack bot can function properly:
- Locate the bot in Slack’s Apps section.
- Identify its bot name for channel invitation.
- Create or select a Slack channel and use
/invite @botname. - Send a test message through Typing Mind to verify the connection.
Authentication prompts may appear the first time. Approve permissions to activate real-time messaging.
At this stage, you can send messages to your Slack channel automatically via TypingMind. However, to analyze your data better, you might need to build a customer AI Agent, let see the next section.
Build custom AI Agents for data analysis
The integration shines when paired with intelligent agents.
Here are an example use case you can refer to:
NPS Reporter Agent
NPS Reporter can help:
- Pull customer feedback from integrated knowledge bases.
- Perform analytical tasks such as trend segmentation and sentiment classification.
- Use the Render Chart plugin to visualize insights via pie or bar charts.

Assign skills for your AI Agents so it can visualize your data into interactive charts and search latest news if needed:
Here’s the result you can expect when implementing the AI Agent. We use Claude 3.7 Sonnet as a base model to help analyze data.
Please note that you can choose another base AI model, however, different AI models will provide different results. Make sure to pick the one that works best for you.
Finally, send the insights to your Slack channel automatically:
