Answer questions in a Slack channel

An answer from your wiki in the thread, with the sources.

  • On an event: When someone asks a question in the channel
  • Asks you first
Use in CuiarRun from your AI agent

What it does

The task

Read the new message in the Slack channel channel. If it is a question, search our Notion wiki and the last 90 days of the channel for the answer. Write a reply in the thread, with links to the sources. Ask me before you post it. When you cannot find the answer, do nothing.

  • It works in Slack and Notion, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • A routine checks every 15 minutes and acts on what is new: when someone asks a question in the channel.
  • It stops for your approval before it sends, posts, pays, books or changes a record.

Run it in Cuiar

  1. 01

    Open it

    Click Use in Cuiar on this page. The side panel opens with the task in the composer.

  2. 02

    Fill in the blank

    Type channel. Tab moves to the next blank.

  3. 03

    Run it, then repeat it

    Run sends it once. To run it when someone asks a question in the channel, make a routine on cuiar.com/routines or with the CLI below.

As a routine, from the terminal

cuiar routines create "Answer questions in a Slack channel" --schedule "*/15 * * * *" --time-zone Europe/Berlin \
  "Read the new message in the Slack channel #ask-ops. If it is a question, search our Notion wiki and the last 90 days of the channel for the answer. Write a reply in the thread, with links to the sources. Ask me before you post it. When you cannot find the answer, do nothing."

Run it from your AI agent

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients reach Cuiar at https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp. Add the server one time, then ask for the task in plain words, or call create_routine yourself.

1. Add Cuiar to Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http cuiar https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp

2. Ask your agent

Use the Cuiar tool create_routine to run my "Answer questions in a Slack channel" template with channel = #ask-ops.

Setup for other agents: AI agents.
