Drefly for Slack: Record, Share, and Get AI Transcripts Without Leaving Slack

Drefly for Slack adds a /drefly slash command and a set of shortcuts so a screen recording can start, finish, and land back in a channel without ever leaving Slack. Paste a recording link from record.drefly.pro anywhere in your workspace and Slack unfurls it into a playable video preview, complete with the AI transcript and summary if the owner has shared them. ▶ Watch the demo

It is a free Slack app. Adding it to your workspace and using the slash command and shortcuts costs nothing, and you do not need a separate Drefly account to install it.

• Record without leaving Slack. Run /drefly or use the Record shortcut to start a screen recording. When it is shared, it posts back to the channel automatically.
• Links unfurl into playable video. Paste a record.drefly.pro link in any channel and Slack shows a playable preview instead of a bare link.
• AI transcript and summary included. When the owner has shared insights, the unfurled recording carries its transcript, summary, and chapters along with it.
• Manage recordings from Slack. Share recording, Customer recordings, and Manage recordings shortcuts let you pick, rename, or delete an existing recording without opening the dashboard.

Drefly for Slack adds two slash commands and five shortcuts. Slash commands are typed straight into the message box. Global shortcuts live behind the lightning bolt icon next to the message box. The one message shortcut only shows up on an existing message, under its "More actions" menu.

1. Add Drefly to your workspace. Click Add to Slack and approve the permissions on the next screen. This takes a few seconds and does not require a separate Drefly account.
2. Connect your Drefly account. Run /drefly once and follow the prompt to link your account, or choose Sign in with Slack from record.drefly.pro, or open Integrations, go to the Teams section, and click Connect next to Slack on developer.drefly.pro. This is what lets a finished recording post back to your channel.
3. Record and share. Use /drefly, the Record shortcut, or paste a recording link into any channel. Drefly handles posting, unfurling, and the AI insights from there.

If your company has embedded Drefly's Record widget on your own site so customers can send in a bug report or a walkthrough with no signup of their own, Slack becomes a second place to see and act on those recordings, alongside the developer dashboard.

• Customer recordings shortcut browses recordings a customer sent in through your widget and posts one straight to a channel.
• Manage recordings shortcut covers your own recordings: share, rename, or delete one from Slack.
• /drefly-dev connect #channel-name makes new customer recordings show up as alerts in a channel automatically, the moment a customer finishes recording. Only an admin on that widget's company can run this.

None of this works until a company and a storage bucket are set up first. That part happens outside Slack, on the developer dashboard, and is covered start to finish in How to Integrate Drefly Into Your Company.

Drefly asks for permission to post messages to a channel, unfurl record.drefly.pro links, register the /drefly command, read channel names so you can pick one, and message you directly. Each permission maps to one of the features above, nothing more. Drefly does not store your recordings on its own servers, and it does not read the content of your Slack messages beyond what these features need, such as the link being unfurled or the command being run.

Removing Drefly from your workspace, whether from Slack's own App Directory or by disconnecting from Integrations on record.drefly.pro or developer.drefly.pro, immediately revokes access and deletes the stored connection. Recordings you already made are untouched, since they live in your own storage or account, never tied to the Slack connection itself.

Adding Drefly to a workspace and using every slash command and shortcut is free, with no extra account required to install it. It pairs with the free Record tool itself: no signup to record, no watermark, and no payment wall on day to day features.

Drefly for Slack is actively developed. If a command, shortcut, or unfurl does not behave the way you expect, or you would like to see something added, email support@drefly.pro.
