Meeting context and reminders move between Daylo and Slack without you relaying either one by hand.
Quick answer
Daylo connects with Slack using the permissions listed on this page, so you can plan around the information that integration makes available.
The narrowest set that makes the features below work.
Read reminders
Reads the connected information so Daylo can turn it into scheduled work. It does not change it.
Create and update reminders
Writes back only the changes you make in Daylo.
Send messages you ask Daylo to send
Posts only the reminders or updates you explicitly send from Daylo.
Send messages you ask Daylo to send
Posts only the reminders or updates you explicitly send from Daylo.
Read the channels you pick
Only the conversations you explicitly connect, so a message can become a task.

Generated from the scope list the consent screen is built from, so this cannot drift from what is actually requested. Revoke any of it from settings, or at the provider, without losing what Daylo already created.
Second item in the sidebar. Every provider Daylo supports is on one screen.
One consent screen covers every service from this provider, so you approve once rather than per app.
Existing items appear straight away. Nothing is moved or rewritten without you asking.
Without the connection, telling your team a meeting moved means typing it into Slack yourself, every time. Connect Slack and Daylo posts the update the moment your calendar changes, in the same channel or DM you'd have used anyway.
Without Slack
Nobody in the channel knows yet.
With Slack connected
A reminders:read/write connection means a Slack reminder like "follow up with the vendor" doesn't just ping you once and vanish into a list - Daylo turns it into an actual block on your week, at a time you're likely to be free.
Without Slack
Fires once, then it's on you.
With Slack connected
chat:write lets Daylo flip your Slack status the instant a focus block or meeting starts - "In a meeting" or "Focusing until 2pm" - and clear it the instant that block ends. No more explaining afterward why you went dark.
Without Slack
Still shows "Active" while you're heads-down.
With Slack connected
Every integration is included on Pro. Setup takes about a minute.
