Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Slack to wit.ai?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Slack and wit.ai via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing communication events to artificial intelligence (ai) actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Slack and wit.ai?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Slack events to wit.ai actions, trigger wit.ai updates when Slack data changes, create wit.ai records from Slack events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Slack and wit.ai integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Slack-to-wit.ai workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Slack data secure when connected to wit.ai?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Slack or wit.ai passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your communication data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Slack and wit.ai?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Slack or wit.ai. For example, create a workflow where Slack events update wit.ai, and a separate one where wit.ai changes sync back to Slack. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Slack and wit.ai?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Slack and wit.ai, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
