Type it, done.
Create any automation by describing it in plain language. No flowcharts, no drag-and-drop wiring, no developer required.
Connect Dovetail and Slack — AI-native workflow automation
Build multi-step AI automations that flow through Dovetail and Slack — and chain in 1000+ other apps when the workflow needs them. One instruction, many steps, every API call run by AI. No code, no flowcharts, self-healing.
Dovetail and Slack are two anchors of a much bigger automation. Definable Workflow chains your analytics, your team chat, and as many other tools as the job needs into a single multi-step flow — built, executed, and verified by AI. Describe the outcome; Workflow plans the steps, runs every API call, branches on conditions, fans out in parallel where useful, retries on failure, and self-heals when an upstream API shifts shape.
What you can automate between Dovetail and Slack
6 ways to automate Dovetail + Slack
- When a metric crosses a threshold in Dovetail, send a formatted message in Slack
- When a daily roll-up completes in Dovetail, open a thread with context in Slack
- When a new message is posted in Slack, post the summary in Dovetail
- When a channel mention happens in Slack, log the metric snapshot in Dovetail
- When an anomaly is detected in Dovetail, DM the right person in Slack, and log the result in a structured record for team review
- When a report is generated in Dovetail, pin a summary in the channel in Slack, then send a notification to the assigned owner with the full context
Most automation tools run code. Workflow runs on AI.
AI builds it AND runs it.
Other platforms use AI to generate brittle code that runs offline. Workflow's entire execution layer is AI — it interprets, decides, and acts step by step.
Self-healing by design.
Every step is monitored by a verification layer. If something fails — a rate limit, an unexpected response, a skipped condition — Workflow detects it, corrects it, and reruns automatically.
Cross-tool orchestration.
Multi-step, event-driven, condition-based flows across Dovetail, Slack, and 1000+ other tools — all from one instruction.
How Definable Workflow automation works — step by step
- 1
Describe your workflow
Type what you want to happen between Dovetail and Slack. No setup wizard.
- 2
Workflow builds it automatically
Definable maps your instruction to the right actions across both tools. You see the plan before it runs.
- 3
AI executes every step
Workflow runs end-to-end. It calls Dovetail, processes the data, applies your conditions, and fires the Slack action.
- 4
The verification layer monitors everything
Every step is verified. If something fails, Workflow catches it, adjusts, and retries — without you lifting a finger.
Example workflow
Trigger

Frequently asked questions
What can I automate between Dovetail and Slack?
Anything you can describe. Workflow connects Dovetail (your analytics) and Slack (your team chat) through a single instruction. Examples: when a metric crosses a threshold in Dovetail, send a formatted message in Slack; when a daily roll-up completes in Dovetail, open a thread with context in Slack. There's no limit to step count or branching depth.
Do I need to write code to connect Dovetail and Slack?
No. You describe the outcome in plain language and Workflow assembles the steps, authenticates both tools, runs the flow end-to-end, and self-corrects if anything fails.
What happens if Dovetail or Slack returns an unexpected response?
Workflow has a verification layer on every step. If a response is malformed, an API rate-limit hits, or a condition is unmet, Workflow detects it, adjusts, and reruns the step automatically — without breaking the flow.
How is this different from drag-and-drop automation tools?
Most automation tools generate static workflows that run brittle code. Workflow is AI-native: the execution layer interprets each step at runtime, so it adapts when Dovetail ships an API change or Slack returns a new field shape. You don't maintain it.
How long does it take to set up?
Minutes. Authenticate Dovetail and Slack, type what you want to happen, review the plan Workflow generates, and start running.
Your workflows. Built by AI. Run by AI. Fixed by AI.
Stop maintaining automations. Start describing outcomes. Workflow handles everything between Dovetail, Slack, and your entire stack.
