Your Okta AI agent is now available directly in Slack. No context switching, no extra tabs — just type a question in any channel and get answers about your Okta tenant instantly.
Huge shoutout to our newest contributor @LcTrKiD for the original Slack bot PR — we built on top of it to ship v2.2.
/tako Commands
Ask anything about your Okta tenant directly in Slack:
/tako list active users in Engineering with no MFA enrolled
/tako which apps use SAML and have more than 100 assigned users?
/tako show contractors who haven't logged in for 60 days
Browse and re-run past queries:
/tako history → your last 5 queries with ▶ Run and ☆ Star buttons
/tako favorites → your starred queries, always one click away
/tako help → full command reference
Results post back to the thread. Small sets get an inline table, large ones attach as CSV. Re-running from history skips the AI pipeline entirely — instant results from the saved script.
Security First
The bot is locked down by default — nobody can use it until you explicitly grant access. Configure access in your .env:
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
SLACK_ALLOWED_EMAILS |
Comma-separated list of allowed user emails |
SLACK_ALLOWED_GROUPS |
Comma-separated Slack user group handles (e.g. okta-admins,it-team) |
SLACK_ALLOW_ALL_USERS |
⚠️ true opens the bot to your entire workspace — use only in fully trusted environments |
SLACK_OPERATION_MODE |
socket (default, no public URL needed) or http |
Socket Mode means Tako opens an outbound WebSocket to Slack’s servers — no port forwarding, no reverse proxy, no public URL required. History and favorites are ephemeral and private to each user.
Get Started
This feature started with a community PR — that’s exactly the kind of contribution that keeps this project moving forward. Setup takes about 10 minutes if you already have Tako running.
The Slack integration is opt-in and disabled by default. Set
ENABLE_SLACK_BOT=truein your.envto activate it and configure access control — see the setup guide below for full instructions.
