Today, when a self-service action is initiated via the Port Slack app, the bot intentionally does not execute the action automatically. Instead, it collects some parameters and then redirects the user back to the Port UI to review and confirm the action. This behavior is by design for safety and control reasons, but some we would like the option to complete the full action flow directly in Slack without switching context.

Requested Capability

Add a configuration option that allows admins to control whether self-service actions triggered via the Slack app can be:

Executed automatically from Slack once all required parameters are collected, or

Kept in the current “review in Port UI before execution” mode.

This could be exposed as a per-action flag (e.g., “Allow automatic execution from Slack”) or as an organization-level policy for Slack-initiated actions.

Value / Impact

Reduces context switching for developers and on-call engineers who want to complete workflows entirely within Slack.

Preserves safety by making automatic execution opt-in and configurable by platform/admin teams.

Aligns Slack app behavior with customers’ expectations for fully chat-native self-service while keeping the current secure default.
