Message-triggered Slack automations | CodeRabbit Agent

Message-triggered Slack automations

CodeRabbit Agent automations can now run on each new top-level message in their home channel, not just on a recurring schedule. Use message-triggered automations when you want CodeRabbit to react to messages in Slack, such as Datadog alerts, deployment notices, or queue-health posts. You can:

• Match every new top-level message in the channel

• Restrict runs to messages whose text includes specific case-insensitive substrings

• Restrict runs to specific Slack bots or Slack apps with a required author allowlist

Message-triggered automations always reply in the triggering thread. Run now is not available for this trigger type; post a matching bot or app message in the channel to test it.
