Email to Slack with Jace
Turn the emails that matter into a short Slack update for the right channel or teammate. Jace reads the whole thread, drafts the message, and posts it through the Jace app after you approve. It can also search Slack for what your team said before it drafts an email reply.

Setting up Slack in Jace
Connect your inbox
Sign up at app.jace.ai and connect Gmail or Outlook first. Slack is an add-on to your email workflow, not a replacement for it.Connect Slack
Open Settings → Integrations, find Slack and click Connect. Slack shows the permissions listed below; approve them for your workspace. If your workspace requires admin approval for apps, an admin has to approve Jace first.Invite Jace to private channels
Public channels work straight away. For a private channel, type /invite @Jace in that channel first, or Jace can't post there.Try it, then automate
Ask Jace to post a summary of one thread and approve it. Then add a Flow for the emails you want flagged in Slack every time, and a rule such as "Slack summaries: three bullets, the customer name first, link the next step."
Slack permissions Jace asks for
- chat:write, chat:write.customize, channels:join, im:write, mpim:write (app)
- Post the messages you approve to channels and direct messages, and join a public channel when it needs to post there.
- search:read, channels:history, im:history, mpim:history (your account)
- Search the Slack messages you can see for context when Jace drafts a reply.
- channels:read, groups:read, im:read, mpim:read, users:read, users:read.email, users.profile:read, usergroups:read
- Find channels and people by name, so a message goes to the right place and @mentions resolve to the right person.
- app_mentions:read, files:read
- Let the Jace app see when it is mentioned, and see files shared in conversations it can access.
- chat:write, groups:write, mpim:write, usergroups:write (your account)
- Also part of the user-level request in Jace's code. Approved Slack messages are posted by the Jace app, not from your own account.
Slack limits worth knowing
- Jace doesn't forward every email to Slack. It posts the messages you ask for or a Flow prepares.
- It doesn't bring Slack messages into your inbox, and it doesn't reply to emails from inside Slack.
- Messages are posted by the Jace app, labelled with your name (for example "Dana Lee's Jace"), not from your own Slack account.
- Private channels need /invite @Jace first. Public channels work without an invite.
- Search only covers messages your Slack account can see, and a summary can miss a detail. Read the draft before you approve it.
- Drafting and searching use Jace credits, like any other AI work.
- Jace doesn't train AI models on your email and doesn't sell your data.

A good fit if
- Customer, vendor or deal updates arrive by email, but your team works in Slack and needs the gist, not the whole thread.
- You want specific emails, such as outages, signed contracts or escalations, flagged in a channel without forwarding everything.
- Your email replies often depend on what someone said in Slack.
Probably not the right tool if
- You want every email to a shared address mirrored into a channel. Slack's channel email address does that.
- You want to read and answer email from inside Slack.
- Your Slack admins don't allow third-party apps.
When to use Slack's own email features instead
- You want a whole mailbox or alias, such as alerts@, copied into a channel as it arrives.
- You only forward an email to Slack now and then and don't need a summary or an email assistant.
- You need the original email and attachments in Slack, not a summary.

Jace has entirely reshaped the way I approach email. It saves me over an hour a day - and the feature list keeps growing. Additionally, I use Superwhisper to chat with the email agent, so I rarely have to touch my keyboard.
I'm impressed by how good the generated replies are. It's just like myself. And I hardly ever need to edit them. I'm saving hours a week on email.
I love how Jace adapts to my unique tone, allowing for a truly personalized experience. The custom instructions feature is powerful, letting me fine-tune how Jace responds.
