Use ISMS Copilot in Slack

ISMS Copilot can answer compliance questions directly in Slack. Mention the bot in a channel or send it a direct message, and continue the conversation in the same Slack thread.

Requirements

Before connecting Slack, confirm:

  • Paid plan: Slack integration requires a paid subscription. Free-tier accounts cannot connect Slack.

  • Organization owner: Only the organization owner can manage integrations. If you're not the owner, ask them to connect Slack for your team.

Connect your Slack workspace

  1. Open Connectors from the sidebar.

  2. Find the Integrations section.

  3. Locate HeyGRC for Slack and click Add to Slack.

  4. Authorize the connection in Slack.

After authorization, you'll return to the Connectors page with a success message. Your team can now use ISMS Copilot from Slack.

If you see "A paid plan is required for Slack integration," upgrade your subscription first. For plan details, see Subscription Plans and Pricing.

Use the bot in Slack

Once connected, interact with ISMS Copilot in two ways:

Mention in a channel

Type @heygrc followed by your question in any Slack channel where the bot is installed. This works for team discussions where others benefit from seeing the response.

Example: @heygrc What controls map to ISO 27001 A.8.1?

Direct message

Send a direct message to @heygrc for private conversations. This mirrors the chat experience inside the ISMS Copilot app.

How Slack threads work

Slack threads map directly to ISMS Copilot conversations:

  • Top-level mention: Starts a new conversation in ISMS Copilot.

  • Reply in a thread: Continues the same conversation. Follow-up questions stay linked to the original context.

This means you can ask a compliance question in a channel, then reply in the Slack thread to go deeper—just like continuing a conversation inside the app.

What to expect

  • Formatted responses: AI answers are formatted for Slack so they're readable in a chat workspace.

  • Same knowledge base: Slack conversations use the same compliance-trained AI as the app. Ask questions the same way you would inside ISMS Copilot.

  • Thread history: Slack thread replies stay connected to the original ISMS Copilot thread for context.

For best results, include context in your questions—framework, company size, industry—just like you would in the app. See Starting Your First Conversation for tips on asking effective questions.

Disconnect Slack

Organization owners can remove the integration from the Connectors page:

  1. Go to Connectors → Integrations.

  2. Click Disconnect on the HeyGRC for Slack card.

  3. Confirm the disconnection.

This removes HeyGRC from your Slack workspace. Your team will no longer be able to chat with ISMS Copilot from Slack.
