HeyGen x Slack
Your team already work in Slack. Now HeyGen do too. Generate avatar-narrated videos without leaving your workspace from any channel, DM, or slash command.
Create videos without leaving Slack
Most video tools sit outside the tools your team actually use. By the time anyone opens them, the moment has passed. HeyGen are now a native Slack app installed once, available everywhere in your workspace.
@mention HeyGen in any channel or DM with a prompt, and a finished video is posted directly in the thread. Use the slash command for full control. Set up automated video notifications so completed HeyGen videos surface in the right channel the moment they’re ready. No manual sharing. No forwarding links.

Three ways to create videos in Slack
Once HeyGen are installed to your workspace, your whole team get three native ways to generate and receive videos. No app switching. No manual steps.
@mention in any channel
Tag @HeyGen in any channel or send a DM with a plain-language prompt. A finished video is generated and posted directly in the thread within minutes.
/heygen command
Use /heygen for full control. Specify avatar, language, tone and script. Ideal for templated or repeatable video types your team use regularly.
Automated notifications
Connect HeyGen video events to Slack channels so your team are notified the moment a video finishes rendering with a direct link, ready to share or review.
How teams use it
From leadership updates that actually get watched to onboarding videos that greet new starters by name.
Executive announcements
Turn a Slack message into a CEO or head-of-product video announcement that lands in #announcements. Impossible to miss and more engaging than a wall of text.
New starter welcomes
When someone joins a channel, automatically generate and post a personalised welcome video using their name, helping every new team member feel recognised from day one.
Sales win celebrations
When a deal closes in your CRM, fire a personalised avatar video into #sales-wins to celebrate the rep by name for a moment of recognition.
On-demand training clips
Let team members @mention HeyGen with a topic and get a short training or explainer video posted straightaway. A self-serve knowledge base, built in conversation.
High-priority alert summaries
Convert urgent Slack messages into avatar-narrated video briefs for high-priority channels such as #incidents or #security-alerts, helping to ensure critical information receives attention.
