Understanding Slack events
Event flow
• Slack generates events
• Events sent to Thena
• Events processed and validated
• Workflows triggered
• Events sent to Thena
• Events processed and validated
• Workflows triggered
Event usage
• Trigger automations
• Track user activity
• Monitor channels
• Analyze interactions
• Track user activity
• Monitor channels

Event integration
Event processing
Event processing
How events flow through the system:
- Slack generates native events
- Events forwarded to Thena
- Event validation and enrichment
- Workflow trigger evaluation
Event handling
Event handling
Event processing capabilities:
- Real-time processing
