Lindy Slack Direct Messaging Limitations and Usage

·Feb 17, 2026 12:49 AM·

I'm setting up Slack in Lindy - Should I be able to DM my Lindy bot in Slack or do I have to use channels? I get a message "Lindy has turned off direct messaging, so you won’t be able to respond to these messages." when trying to DM Lindy app directly

Hey Jeff! Hmm 🤔 Do you mind sending over the link with the agent you've had this reply with? Happy to take a look!

I think it’s working now. I think an action was needed to have Lindy officially join my slack. Just adding the pipedream auth wasn't enough on its own.
