Abdul Rahman 72322a4d72 feat: Slack conversational assistant (#22984)
## Summary

Lets workspace members talk to the Twenty CRM agent from Slack —
`@mention` the bot in a channel or DM it, and it answers in-thread using
the `slack-assistant` agent and its assigned role.

## How it works

Slack Events webhook → app route verifies signature → **ack in <3s** and
enqueue a `slackAssistantRequest` → worker posts a placeholder
immediately, then fetches recent thread/DM history (excluding the
current message and placeholder), runs `runAgent`, and updates the
placeholder with the answer. After a successful reply, the thread stays
subscribed (24h TTL, renewed on each reply) so follow-ups work without
re-mentioning.

## App-owned orchestration

Protocol + orchestration live in `twenty-apps/public/twenty-slack`
(events resolver, enqueue, worker, team claim KV, thread subscription).
The server provides shared primitives (app routes, `runAgent`, app KV,
connection OAuth).

## Notes

- Agent role is bound via `roleUniversalIdentifier` on install. Default
**Slack Assistant** role: read/create/update/soft-delete on people,
companies, opportunities, notes, and tasks; **workspace members stay
read-only**; hard destroy stays off. Admins can tighten the role in
Settings.
- Setup (signing secret, event subscriptions, scopes) is in the app
README.
- Long-lived Slack bot tokens (no refresh token) are treated as
non-expiring.
- Multi-turn: recent Slack thread/DM messages are prepended into the
agent prompt.
- Replies are non-streaming for now (placeholder + final `chat.update`);
progressive streaming is a follow-up.

## Follow-ups

- **Streaming replies** — progressive edits while the agent runs.
- **Per-user / per-channel permissions** — Slack→Twenty user mapping and
optional channel rules (open by default; admins can narrow).
- **Other platforms** — Discord/Teams can reuse the same patterns; only
Slack protocol is in this PR.

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
