Your best LinkedIn content usually starts life inside Slack: a customer win, a sharp insight, a fresh product update. But copying, pasting, and formatting posts by hand is slow, error prone, and easy to forget. Connecting LinkedIn and Slack turns those moments into a repeatable publishing system. Add an AI computer agent and the loop gets even tighter: the agent listens to chosen channels, drafts ready to post updates, routes them for approval, and publishes on schedule so your brand shows up consistently without eating your team’s day.
The scrappy way many teams start: a marketer watches a #wins or #product-updates channel, screenshots or copies a message, rewrites it for LinkedIn, uploads an image, and hits Post.
Pros: Full human judgment, easy to start, zero setup.
Cons: Time consuming, inconsistent, easy to miss great moments when people are busy.
Next level is using Slack apps or simple bots. For example, post a message in a specific channel and react with an emoji to signal it should become a LinkedIn update. A workflow tool or custom bot picks it up, pushes it to a queue or directly to LinkedIn.
Pros: Reduces busywork, adds light structure, keeps everything inside Slack.
Cons: Still needs humans to draft content, approve timing, and fix mistakes. Hard to scale across brands or markets.
With a computer use agent like Simular, you move from triggers and APIs to a teammate that can actually use both tools the way a human would. The agent can:
Pros: Works across Slack, LinkedIn, docs, and analytics without custom code. High repeatability and transparent execution you can inspect.
Cons: Requires a short setup and onboarding period so the agent learns your tone, approval rules, and edge cases.
Once the AI agent is reliable on a single channel, you can:
That is where you stop "doing social" as a task and start running a consistent, agent powered system.
Start by deciding which Slack channel will feed LinkedIn (for example, a #social-ideas or #wins channel). Then use a workflow tool or bot that can listen to messages in that channel and call the LinkedIn API to create a post. Configure a simple rule such as posting only messages with a specific emoji reaction or prefix. Test with an internal-only post first, then gradually open it up to more teammates as the flow proves reliable.
Create a dedicated #linkedin-approvals channel. When someone suggests a post, have your integration or AI agent paste the draft there with a clear preview and any images or links attached. Use reactions as lightweight controls: for example, a ✅ reaction means approved, a ✏️ means needs edits. Your automation or agent should watch for ✅, then either schedule or immediately publish on LinkedIn, logging the final URL back into the same thread for easy tracking.
Add a simple tracking loop on top of your integration. Whenever a post is published, capture its LinkedIn URL, campaign tag, and author. Your AI agent or workflow can open LinkedIn analytics on a schedule, pull metrics like impressions, clicks, and reactions, and write them into a Google Sheet or Notion database. Post a weekly summary back into a #marketing or #leadgen channel so sales and leadership can see what content from Slack is actually driving results.
Treat the AI agent like a new team member with guardrails. First, connect it to Slack and LinkedIn using dedicated accounts and limited permissions. Next, require human approval for every post during the first phase: the agent drafts in Slack, you approve, then it publishes. Because Simular style agents log every action, you can review their click-by-click trail. Once you are confident, you can relax approvals for low-risk content like event promos or hiring posts.
Start with a shared workflow: one Slack channel where wins, quotes, and updates are posted in a structured format. Your AI agent can then read each message, clone the core idea, and adapt tone or language by brand, persona, or region. It opens each relevant LinkedIn page, creates localized drafts, and queues them for review. With clear posting windows and rules defined in your agent instructions, you can maintain brand consistency while dramatically increasing output.
