OpenBunny connects to Slack using Socket Mode, which means no public URL or webhook is required. Messages are received in real time over a WebSocket connection.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Slack workspace where you have admin access
  • A Slack app with Socket Mode enabled

​
Create a Slack app

​
How it works

The service uses @slack/socket-mode to maintain a persistent WebSocket connection. When a message is received:
  1. The message is normalized and stored in the conversations/messages tables
  2. The debounce timer resets for that conversation
  3. After the debounce period, the scheduler picks up the conversation for LLM processing

​
Channel selection

By default, OpenBunny listens to all channels the bot is invited to. Invite the bot to specific channels using /invite @OpenBunny in Slack.
