Lancer for Slack

• See every new job in context

  Each lead arrives with the client’s hiring history, the budget and the reason Lancer thinks it fits your campaign.

• Edit the cover letter

  Open the AI-drafted cover letter, change what you want and keep your edits for the proposal.

• Answer screening questions

  Fill in or adjust the answers to the client’s screening questions before anything is sent.

• Boost or switch profile

  Set a Connects boost, or pick a specialised Upwork profile to bid from.

• Decide in one click

  Approve, hold or reject the proposal straight from the message. The message updates to show what happened.

1. 1

   Connect Slack. Click Add to Slack on this page, or open a campaign in Lancer and connect from its Notifications tab.

2. 2

   Pick a channel. Choose where the campaign's leads should go. For a private channel, first run /invite @Lancer in that channel so it shows up in the list.

3. 3

   Work your leads. New leads arrive as messages with buttons. Review, edit and decide without opening Lancer.

Lancer asks Slack for four permissions, and nothing else:

• channels:readSee the list of public channels, so you can pick one for alerts.
• groups:readSee the private channels Lancer has been invited to, so you can pick one.
• chat:writePost lead alerts and update them after you approve, hold or reject.
• chat:write.publicPost into a public channel you picked without having to join it first.

Lancer only posts into channels you connect. It does not read your messages.

We keep your workspace ID and name, the channels you pick, the bot token Slack issues and the IDs of the alerts we posted (so we can update them). When you uninstall the app or disconnect Slack in Lancer, the connection and token are deleted, within 14 days at most.

Full details are in our privacy policy.

• Cover letters and fit reasons are generated by large language models, routed through OpenRouter.
• Slack message content is never used to train AI models.
• AI output can be wrong. Review each proposal before you approve it.
