Slack - User App Install

Last updated: February 5, 2026

ModernLoop's Slack integration streamlines coordination and enhances internal communication for your recruiting team. The ModernLoop Interview Bot will:

ModernLoop supports only one Slack workspace per organization. The ModernLoop Bot can only access and post to private Slack channels (indicated by a đź”’ icon), not public channels (indicated by a # icon). This is an intentional design choice to limit what ModernLoop can see and prevent candidate information from being posted too broadly.

  • Automatically create private Slack channels for onsite interview loops (the bot only works with private channels, not public channels), add interviewers, share interview schedules, and upload candidate resumes.

  • Send reminders to interviewers who haven’t accepted their interview invites.

  • Prepare interviewers with reminders a day before their scheduled interview.

  • Progress trainees through their training modules.

Slack data processed through this integration is governed by ModernLoop's Privacy Policy.
