Slack is included in Archal’s environment catalog. Use it in a sandbox for channels, messages, threads, users, and reactions. Public is the intended GA channel. It still describes a bounded provider surface, not a promise that every upstream operation exists.

​
Compatibility boundary

Local catalog validation: All five published samples passed. Checks cover the state contract, relationships, artifact hash, secret scan, and size limit.
Local catalog validation is not hosted proof. Archal checks current certification, reset, and isolation evidence before admitting new sandboxes. Use the authenticated environment catalog for live availability.
  • Realtime delivery and every Slack platform surface are outside the supported boundary.

Curated starting states

List the five samples with archal sample list slack. Each sample is a versioned starting state with a representative read, mutation, expected diff, reset expectation, and verified artifact hash.
List one workspace channel and create a second channel without message history.Sample ID: slack.workspace-channel-baseline.v1Category: minimalStarting state: 4 records across channels: 1, users: 2, workspaces: 1Supported surface: Stateful workspace, channel, message, thread, reaction, file, and collaboration APIs.Required capabilities: state.read, state.load, state.reset, rest.conversationsFirst read: POST /api/conversations.list. Expected result: HTTP 200.First-read input
Representative mutation: POST /api/conversations.create. Expected result: HTTP 200, 201, 204.Mutation input
Expected diff: changes include channels. Exact match required: no. Hosted promotion must observe every listed path after the provider-native mutation; dynamic provider ids and timestamps are excluded from exact matching.Expected reset: restores loaded sample.Known limits
  • Realtime delivery and every Slack platform surface are outside the supported boundary.

Use custom state

Start from a sample when possible. For custom state, inspect the contract with archal environment describe slack, then validate the file before creating a sandbox:
Loading state replaces the current collections and establishes a new reset baseline. See Starting state before replacing state in an existing sandbox.
