# Add LFG Alarm to Slack AI agents · https://lfg.gm/slack · Updated 2026-10-25 To add LFG Alarm to Slack, press **Add to Slack** on this page, pick your workspace and tap **Allow**. Then type `/lfg` and what the alarm is for, such as `/lfg wake the team at 9:50 for standup`, and Rocco, LFG's agent, sets it up. Tap **Arm it** and the alarm's card lands in the channel with **Join**, so everyone who joins hears it ring on their phone. LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone and Android, plus lfg.gm in a desktop browser: alarms for times and moments, shared so every phone that joined rings together. ## Before you start - **Get the LFG Alarm app on your phone** from Google Play or the App Store, and sign in. Slack is where you ask; the app is what rings. - **Permission to add apps to your Slack workspace.** Some workspaces only let admins add apps. If yours does, Slack offers to send your admin a request. ## Add it 1. Press **Add to Slack** at the top of this page. 2. Pick your workspace in the top corner of Slack's page, check what LFG Alarm asks for, and tap **Allow**. 3. The first time you ask Rocco for something, he asks you to **Connect LFG Alarm**. A page opens on lfg.gm: sign in with your LFG Alarm account and tap **Allow**. Each person in the workspace connects their own account, once. ## Ask Rocco for an alarm There are three ways to ask, and they all work the same: - **`/lfg` in any channel**, followed by what you want. Only you see Rocco's answer until you arm it. - **A direct message to Rocco**, from **Apps** in Slack's sidebar. - **An @mention**, like `@Rocco ring us when the Lakers game starts`. Rocco answers in plain words. If he needs to know something, such as which day you mean, his question comes with buttons for the answers. When the alarm is right, tap **Arm it**. ![Asking Rocco for a standup alarm in a Slack thread](https://lfg.gm/agents/shots/slack-ask-rocco.jpg) ## The whole channel can join When you arm an alarm, Rocco posts its card where you asked: the name, when it goes off, its picture and a **Join** button. Anyone who taps **Join** gets it on their phone, and it rings for all of them at once. Paste any lfg.gm alarm link into Slack and it opens into the same card. A public alarm shows what it is waiting for; a friends alarm shows only that it is one; a surprise alarm stays wrapped until it rings. ![An alarm's card in a Slack channel with a Join button](https://lfg.gm/agents/shots/slack-channel-card.jpg) ## Try it **Try this.** Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or another AI agent that has the LFG Alarm connector (https://mcp.lfg.gm), not into the LFG Alarm app. The person needs the LFG Alarm app on their phone. > /lfg wake the team at 9:50 every weekday for standup Why it works: One plain sentence sets a repeating time alarm, and the card it posts lets the whole channel join. More ideas: `/lfg ring us 10 minutes before the launch on Friday at 5pm`, `/lfg ring me when Elon Musk posts about Starship`, or `/lfg ring the team when the Lakers game starts`. Rocco can set time alarms, alarms for when an account posts or a channel goes live, price alarms, alarms for a Luma or Partiful event, and **🔮 Anything** alarms that any system can ring. ## Alerts into a channel, without the app An alarm Rocco watches can also send each alert it finds to a Slack channel. Make an **Incoming Webhook** for the channel at [api.slack.com/apps](https://api.slack.com/apps), copy its URL, and paste it under the alarm's **Send alerts to** in LFG Alarm. Each alert posts as a message. ## If it does not work - **Rocco keeps asking you to connect.** Tap **Connect LFG Alarm** and finish signing in on lfg.gm. If you removed Slack under **AI apps and keys** in LFG Alarm's settings, you connect again the same way. - **`/lfg` does nothing in a channel.** Check the app is installed in this workspace, under **Apps** in the sidebar. - **Arm it says the alarm is already set.** It was armed once already. Ask again with `/lfg` for a new one. - **Still stuck?** Write to us from the [support page](https://lfg.gm/support). ## Remove it To disconnect your own account, open LFG Alarm's settings, then **AI apps and keys**, and remove Slack. To take the app out of the workspace, open it from **Apps** in Slack's sidebar and remove it there, or ask your Slack admin. Alarms you made stay in your LFG Alarm account and keep ringing. ## Questions ### Is LFG Alarm for Slack free? Yes. Adding the app is free, and so is asking Rocco for an alarm. Your LFG Alarm plan's usual limits apply, the same as in the app. ### Does LFG Alarm read my Slack messages? No. It only receives what you send it: a `/lfg` command, a direct message to Rocco, a message that mentions him, or an lfg.gm link pasted into a channel it is in. ### Do people need LFG Alarm to join an alarm from Slack? Yes. The alarm rings on their phone, so each person who taps **Join** needs the LFG Alarm app. ## Learn more - [What is LFG Alarm?](https://lfg.gm/wiki/what-is-lfg-alarm) and [your first alarm](https://lfg.gm/wiki/your-first-alarm) - [Friends and groups](https://lfg.gm/wiki/friends-and-groups) and [Sharing and reach](https://lfg.gm/wiki/sharing-and-reach) - [How to make Zapier ring your phone](https://lfg.gm/zapier-phone-alarm) - [Connect LFG Alarm to an AI app](https://lfg.gm/agents) ## Sources and further reading - [Slack Help: Add apps to your Slack workspace](https://slack.com/help/articles/202035138) - [Slack Help: Manage app approval for your workspace](https://slack.com/help/articles/222386767) - [Slack docs: Sending messages using incoming webhooks](https://docs.slack.dev/messaging/sending-messages-using-incoming-webhooks) LFG Alarm is not affiliated with Slack. ## Keep exploring - [Connect LFG Alarm to your AI app](https://lfg.gm/agents.md): The LFG Alarm MCP server: set alarms from ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, OpenClaw and more, and they ring on your phone. - [Connect LFG Alarm to ChatGPT](https://lfg.gm/agents/chatgpt.md): Add LFG Alarm to ChatGPT with the address mcp.lfg.gm, sign in once, and ask ChatGPT to set alarms that ring on your phone. - [Connect LFG Alarm to Claude](https://lfg.gm/agents/claude.md): Add LFG Alarm to Claude as a custom connector, sign in once, and ask Claude to set alarms that ring on your phone.
