💡 Get the exact n8n workflows and JSON templates free inside my Automation Vault – www.kristorrington.com

Learn how to connect n8n to Slack the clean way: set the right bot scopes, install the app, invite the bot, verify the Events URL, and wire up Post Message plus an @mention trigger. We do a live end-to-end test and show the simple production URL swap so it keeps working after you go live. Optional: add an AI agent to reply in-channel.
