Why integrate Slack with Beside
Keep everyone aligned and moving fast.
How it works
For each call, voicemail, voice memo, voice note, or text, Beside posts a structured card to Slack with caller identity, whether they are new or known to your business, an AI summary, a transcript link, and suggested next steps.
Features
- Instant alerts for calls and voicemails
- Threaded AI summaries with key moments and action items
- Missed call notifications that show if the caller is new or returning
- Route by number, team, or business hours

Why shops connect Slack
The missed call is not a Slack problem. It is a phone problem. Beside picks up, qualifies, and books. Slack is where the record should live if your team already starts the day there. Connecting them means the first conversation of a job is not trapped in voicemail.
Owners usually connect Slack after the line is live, not before. Get one week of summaries in Beside, then turn on the sync so you are not piping test calls into production records.
If Slack is your CRM, send new contacts and the next step. If it is chat or dispatch, send the summary and the phone number. See CRM, AI Receptionist, and the rest of integrations.
Beside answers the call, writes a summary, and can send the contact, transcript, or a follow-up into Slack. You keep using Slack as the system of record if that is already how the shop runs.
