Slack Signal Monitor

Slack Signal Monitor

Use slack_signal_monitor to detect high-signal Slack activity and proactively alert Jason.

First run

1. Run slack_signal_monitor with action: "status".
2. If setupRequired: true, configure Slack token/scopes and monitor scope.
3. Set monitor config with action: "set_config".
4. Enable cron with action: "ensure_cron_monitor".

Recommended first-run commands

1. Configure all-channel monitoring:

{
  "action": "set_config",
  "monitorAllChannels": true,
  "mentionNames": ["jason"],
  "intervalSeconds": 300,
  "lookbackMinutes": 10
}

1. Confirm setup:

{ "action": "status" }

1. Run an immediate scan:

{ "action": "scan_now" }

1. Turn on cron monitor:

{ "action": "ensure_cron_monitor" }

Core actions

• status
• set_config
• scan_now
• ensure_cron_monitor
• disable_cron_monitor
• clear_seen

Example setup

{
  "action": "set_config",
  "monitorAllChannels": true,
  "mentionNames": ["jason"],
  "keywordWatchlist": [
    "DNS",
    "DMARC",
    "domain transfer",
    "website",
    "Barrett",
    "urgent",
    "ASAP",
    "blocked"
  ],
  "intervalSeconds": 300,
  "lookbackMinutes": 10,
  "taskCreationEnabled": true,
  "audioAlertEnabled": true,
  "mainSessionAudioAlert": true
}

Notes

• monitorAllChannels: true scans all active Slack channels visible to the configured token.
• To monitor specific channels only, set monitorAllChannels: false and provide watchedChannels.
• watchedChannels also accepts "all" or "*" as shorthand for all-channel mode.
• Add users:read scope for reliable user display-name resolution.
• Known fallback sender names are used when user lookup fails.
• Monitor is deduped by channelId:messageTs so repeated scans do not re-alert old messages.
