Mills brings production issue investigations into Slack: recorded signals, investigation findings, an evolving timeline, and downloadable context for coding agents. The Slack app is currently named **Sawmills**; the agent is **Mills**. ## 1. Start in Mills Sign in at [app.agentmills.ai](https://app.agentmills.ai), select your organization, then open **Integrations** and connect Slack. Choose whether Mills may automatically join public notification channels. With automatic joining disabled, invite Mills to each notification channel yourself. Mills Connect Slack authorization options ## 2. Authorize your Slack workspace Slack opens a consent screen. Select the workspace where you want to install Mills, review the permissions and linked terms, then choose **Allow**. Return to Mills to finish the connection. The screenshot shows the consent screen for an existing internal installation. Use your own workspace when installing. Slack OAuth workspace selection and consent screen ## 3. Configure and validate the channel Open the Slack account configuration, choose a notification channel, and save. Use **Validate** to check the token and channel membership. Use **Send test message** to confirm delivery. Configure escalation and resolution notifications and the minimum severity appropriate for your team. The captured connection passed validation. Delivery is a separate check; this capture does not show a successful test-message delivery. Configured Slack account with successful token and channel validation Reconnect refreshes access to the existing workspace. To switch workspaces, disconnect the current account first, then connect Slack again. This changes the notification destination for the selected Mills organization. ## 4. Investigate issues from Slack An issue notification includes its severity, recorded signals, and an **Open issue** link to the full investigation in Mills. The investigation timeline records changes as the issue develops. The thread's **agent-context.json** attachment provides investigation context for a coding agent. The following image is a sanitized, illustrative example of the Slack issue layout. Its text and timestamps have been replaced; it is not a live delivery record or customer telemetry. Sanitized illustrative Mills issue notification with timeline and agent context ## 5. Continue the conversation Following **Open issue** opens the investigation in Mills. This screenshot shows an existing Acme demo issue with its findings, triggered monitors, and timeline. It is historical demo data, not evidence of a currently running investigation. Historical Acme demo issue findings, monitors, and investigation timeline Mention **@Mills** in a channel it has joined, or send a direct message. Ask for an issue summary, then continue in the same thread to preserve conversation context. See [using Mills in Slack](/docs/sawmills-agent-slack) for conversation guidance.
