Is it possible to trigger a vapi ai via slack? What i want is, if I message a question in a channel in slack. It will trigger the vapi ai assistant and answer the question. Any help will do.#slack#vapi

@Mad Prince Yes, it is possible to integrate VAPI with Slack to trigger the AI assistant when a question is asked in a Slack channel. To achieve this, you would typically follow these steps: 1. **Create a Slack App**: You'll need to create a Slack app and add it to your workspace. You can do this from the Slack API website. 2. **Set Up Event Subscriptions**: In your Slack app settings, you'll need to enable event subscriptions and subscribe to message events in the channels you want the VAPI AI to respond to. 3. **Create a Slack Bot User**: Your Slack app will need a bot user that will post messages to the channel. 4. **Receive Slack Events**: Your server endpoint that you set up for VAPI will need to be able to handle Slack events as well. You'll need to verify the Slack request and parse the message. 5. **Trigger VAPI AI**: When a message event is received, you can then trigger the VAPI AI with the message content. 6. **Send Response Back to Slack**: Once VAPI processes the message and generates a response, you'll send that response back to the Slack channel using the Slack API. 7. **Handle Authentication**: Ensure that you handle OAuth tokens and permissions correctly so that your Slack app can post messages. This is a high-level overview, and each step involves more detailed actions and coding. You'll need to refer to both the Slack API documentation and VAPI documentation to implement the integration. If you need more specific guidance on any of these steps, please let me know!

yes it is possible to trigger calls using slack messages but you have to trigger and webhooks using Vapi and slack APIs by yoourself.
