Railway Agent now available in Slack and Discord

We first shipped the Railway Agent for Slack and Discord to Priority Boarding in July, and now we're ready to release the agent bot(s) to GA.

To get started you'll need to go to your Account Settings and scroll down to Railway Agent Integrations.

There you should see options for connecting Slack and Discord.

From there, you'll need to use the following commands to link the Railway Agent to your Slack or Discord workspace:

  • Slack - Run /railway-link in any channel
  • Discord - Run /link workspace in any channel

Once linked, you simply need to mention @Railway Agent in the chat and the Railway Agent will be at your service.
