Multi-Workspace

Connect agents across multiple Slack workspaces - all managed from a single SlackHive instance.

One platform, many workspaces

SlackHive lets you deploy agents into multiple Slack workspaces from a single installation. Each agent carries its own Slack credentials, so agents in different workspaces run completely independently - while you manage everything from one dashboard.

Common setups:

Setup	Example
Single workspace	All agents live in company.slack.com
Multi-team	Engineering agents in one workspace, support agents in another
Client workspaces	Agency deploying agents into each client’s Slack
Staging + production	Same agent config, separate workspaces for testing

---

How it works

Each agent stores its own Slack credentials:

• slack_bot_token - the bot’s OAuth token (xoxb-...)
• slack_app_token - for Socket Mode (xapp-...)
• slack_signing_secret - to verify incoming events

When the runner starts, it creates a separate Slack Bolt connection for each agent using that agent’s credentials. Agents in different workspaces don’t share connections or interfere with each other.

Setting up agents across workspaces

Each workspace needs its own Slack app. For each workspace:

1. Create a Slack app for that workspace

   Create the agent in SlackHive, then open its Overview tab and generate a Slack app manifest. Install that manifest into the target workspace - not your main workspace.

   → See Slack App Setup for the full manifest install steps.

2. Collect the credentials

   From the installed app, copy:

   • Bot Token (xoxb-...) - from OAuth & Permissions
   • App Token (xapp-...) - from Basic Information → App-Level Tokens
   • Signing Secret - from Basic Information

   These are workspace-specific. An app installed in workspace A cannot connect to workspace B.

3. Connect the agent in SlackHive

   Paste the credentials into the agent’s Overview tab. The runner will connect to that workspace automatically on the next start, or within seconds if already running.

Repeat for each workspace. You can have any number of agents per workspace.

User management across workspaces

Users and roles in SlackHive are platform-wide - there’s no per-workspace access control.

What’s shared	What’s isolated
User accounts and roles	Agent Slack connections
Admin dashboard	Agent memories
Platform settings	Agent skills and tools
	Slack thread sessions

An admin can see and manage agents in all workspaces from the same dashboard. Use per-agent access grants if you need to restrict editors to specific workspaces’ agents.

Boss agents across workspaces

A Boss and all its specialists must be in the same Slack workspace. Boss delegates by @mentioning specialists in the same thread - this only works when they share a workspace. If you need Boss orchestration in multiple workspaces, create a separate Boss and specialist set for each workspace.
