External assistants

These open a third-party AI service outside the EU. The link passes it this page's address, and anything you ask there is processed by that provider under its own terms.

Imports messages, thread replies and shared files from the public Slack channels you have joined.

What it imports

Nordvec imports these from Slack: messages, thread replies, and shared files.

Nordvec checks Slack for changes on a schedule, and a document deleted in Slack is removed at the next check.

Filtering searches by Slack

Documents synced from Slack carry these source_provider values. Pass one to /documents/search to restrict results to this connector:

  • slack
curl https://nordvec.com/api/v1/documents/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NORDVEC_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "quarterly report", "sourceProvider": "slack"}'

Connecting Slack

Connect Slack from Connectors in Nordvec. The connector reads with the account of the person who connects it. Documents from Slack are private to the person who connected it until that person shares them. An API key reads only what is shared with the workspace, so it finds these documents once their owner shares them. Documents are stored in the EU; every processor that touches them is published with its jurisdiction and transfer basis at /subprocessors.
