New: the Unified InboxSee how
Slack integration

Your Unified Inbox, approved from Slack.

Every reply from every campaign and client lands in the Underfive Unified Inbox. When an inbox agent drafts a reply that needs a human, the draft shows up in your Slack channel with Approve and Edit buttons. Meeting booked alerts and reply notifications land in the same place.

Human oversight without the tab switching.

Inbox agents answer most replies on their own in under 5 minutes. The ones you want to see first should not sit in a queue nobody checks. Slack is where your team already is, so that is where the approvals go.

1 click

From draft to sent

Approve a draft straight from the Slack message, or edit it first. The reply goes out through the tool and sender that received it. You never open another tab.

Step 5

You pick what posts

In Step 5 of your inbox agent setup, choose which reply categories trigger a Slack notification. Interested and Meeting Request, yes. Not interested, probably not.

1 per client

Channel routing for agencies

Each Underfive workspace posts to its own Slack channel. Every client keeps its own approvals and alerts, while the Unified Inbox shows all of them in one place.

Setup takes under 5 minutes

Connected in three steps

Authorize once, pick a channel, choose what posts.

2 Configure

Choose a channel and categories per workspace

Pick the Slack channel each Underfive workspace should post to. Agencies usually give each client its own channel. Then, in Step 5 of your inbox agent setup, select which reply categories should post to Slack so negative replies never add noise.

  • One channel per workspace or client
  • Categories like Interested, Meeting Request, and Referral
  • Auto-sent replies can post too, so you see what went out

Step 5 of your inbox agent setup: choose the categories that post to Slack.

3 Run

Approve, edit, or just watch from Slack

When an inbox agent drafts a reply that needs approval, the draft lands in your channel next to the prospect's message. Approve it in one click or edit it first. Replies set to auto-send post a copy, so the whole team knows what was sent.

  • Approve in one click
  • Edit the draft before it goes
  • Meeting booked alerts with the time and attendee

Auto mode still keeps you in the loop

Categories set to auto-send go out without waiting. Turn on Slack for those categories too and every sent reply posts to the channel, so the team sees exactly what went out without approving each one.

What lands in your channel

Every event from the Unified Inbox you choose to hear about, and whether you can act on it from Slack.

Event What you see in Slack Approve / Edit
Reply received, auto-sent The prospect's message and the reply the agent sent. FYI
Draft needs approval The prospect's message, the draft, and Approve and Edit buttons.
Meeting booked The time, the attendee, and the calendar it was booked on. FYI
Follow-up scheduled The date the agent will circle back on a quiet or "not right now" thread. FYI
Agent needs attention A reply the agent could not classify, waiting in the approval queue for a human.

Which of these post is up to you, per workspace and per reply category. FYI rows keep the team informed. Checked rows carry Approve and Edit buttons.

Slack integration FAQ

Everything people ask before connecting.

Can I approve replies from Slack?

Yes. When an inbox agent drafts a reply in a category set to Require Approval, Underfive posts the draft to your Slack channel with Approve and Edit buttons. Approve sends the reply through the tool and sender that received the original message.

Can I edit a draft before approving it in Slack?

Yes. Click Edit on the Slack message, change the draft, and send it. You do not have to open the Underfive app.

Do I get Slack notifications when replies are sent automatically?

Yes. For categories set to auto-send, Underfive can post the prospect's message and the reply that went out, so you stay informed without approving each one.

How do I control which replies post to Slack?

In Step 5 of your inbox agent setup, select the categories that should trigger a Slack notification. Many teams keep Interested, Meeting Request, and Referral and skip negative replies.

I run several clients. Can each client have its own channel?

Yes. Each Underfive workspace posts to the Slack channel you choose for it. Give every client workspace its own channel and the Unified Inbox still shows every client in one view.

Does it work on mobile Slack?

Yes. Notifications, Approve, and Edit work in the Slack desktop and mobile apps, so you can clear the approval queue from anywhere.

Can I approve replies somewhere other than Slack?

Yes. Replies that need approval wait in your Underfive queue. You can approve them from the app, from Slack, or through the Underfive MCP connector.

What do I need to set it up?

A free Underfive account and a Slack workspace you can authorize apps in. Sign up, connect Slack from Settings, then Integrations, and pick a channel. You start with 50 free replies and no credit card.
