Chat with Lovable in Slack
You can chat with Lovable directly inside Slack to build new projects, update existing apps, and ask questions about your work. It works in channels, direct messages, and the Slack AI assistant view, using the same projects and permissions as your Lovable workspace.
Anyone who wants to build or manage Lovable projects without leaving Slack.
Do this, in order
- 1
Go to Lovable's settings page for Slack.
This is where you start the process to link your Lovable account with your Slack workspace.
- 2
Read the information about what Lovable can access in Slack and confirm you understand by checking the box.
It's important to know how Lovable will interact with your Slack workspace and what data it can see.
- 3
Click 'Connect Slack' and approve the permissions in the Slack authorization window that opens.
This step officially links your Lovable workspace to your Slack workspace, granting Lovable the necessary access.
- 4
Verify that your Slack workspace appears under 'Connected Slack workspaces' in Lovable's settings.
This confirms that the connection was successful and Lovable is now ready to use in Slack.

Words decoded
- Workspace
- In Lovable, a workspace is like your personal or team's dedicated area where all your projects and apps live. In Slack, it's your company's or team's shared communication hub.
- Permissions
- These are the rules that decide what you or an app (like Lovable) are allowed to do or see within a system, like Slack or Lovable.
- Credits
- These are like tokens or units that get used up when you interact with Lovable, similar to how some services charge per action or usage.
- Native Slack uploads
- This means files (like images, videos, or documents) that Lovable creates are sent directly into Slack in a way that Slack understands and can display properly, instead of just providing a web link to them.
- Slack AI assistant view
- This is a special part of Slack (available on paid plans) where you can have a separate conversation with AI tools like Lovable, keeping it distinct from your main channel or direct messages.
Where people get stuck
- Trying to use Lovable in Slack before a workspace owner or admin has connected the Slack workspace to Lovable.
- Expecting Lovable to respond in a Slack channel without mentioning '@Lovable' in your message.
- Not understanding that Lovable treats private channels like public ones for data scope, meaning anything discussed there is considered workspace-level.
- Forgetting that messages to Lovable in Slack (except simple 'thank you' messages) use your Lovable workspace's credits.
- Not re-authorizing the Slack app if your workspace was connected before August 24, 2026, which can limit features like reactions and native file uploads.
