Introducing Slack Huddle Bots: Capture Meeting Data from Slack Huddles
Accessing Slack Huddle Data with an API
Slack Huddles are widely used for quick, informal discussions. Teams rely on them for incident response, brainstorming, and daily syncs, but once the conversation ends, there is no built-in way to retain or retrieve key data.
With Recall.ai’s Slack Huddle API, developers can programmatically access transcripts, recordings, speaker timelines, and participant events from Slack Huddles. This allows teams to build tools that automate workflows, enhance documentation, and integrate Slack Huddle data into AI-powered applications.
In this article, we’ll cover:
- Why access to Slack Huddle data matters
- How developers can use the Slack Huddle API
- Example use cases for automation, analytics, and AI
- How to get started
The Problem: Slack Huddles do not provide built-in data access
Slack Huddles are designed for real-time collaboration, but they lack native support for:
- Retrieving meeting records – Slack Huddles does not offer an API for accessing transcripts, recordings, or speaker timelines.
- Automating workflows – There is no direct way to connect Slack Huddle data with internal tools, CRMs, or ticketing systems.
- Structuring discussions into actionable insights – Teams must manually track key decisions and action items.
Without a way to extract and store this data, valuable information is lost, making it harder to improve decision-making and maintain accountability.
The Solution: Recall.ai’s Slack Huddle API
The Slack Huddle API allows developers to capture and structure Slack Huddle data in real time to power automation, analytics, and AI applications.
Trusted by leading teams at Harness, BigPanda, Instacart, Grain, Calendly, ClickUp, Wealthbox, and Circle Medical, Recall.ai provides the infrastructure for extracting meeting data from platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams — and now, Slack Huddles.
With this API, teams no longer have to rely on manual note-taking or context-switching to retain important Slack Huddle discussions.
