How Do I Remove the Gumloop Agent From a Slack Channel?

Last updated: May 19, 2026

Run /gummie remove in the channel to stop the agent from responding. To also remove the Gumloop bot user from the channel entirely, use /kick @Gumloop or remove it from the channel's member list.

What "Remove" Means in Slack

There are two separate things you might want to do, and they need different commands:

  • Disconnect the agent — the @Gumloop bot stays in the channel but no longer responds. Use this if you want to switch agents or stop responses without uninstalling.

  • Remove the bot from the channel — the @Gumloop bot user is kicked out of the channel entirely. Use this if a channel admin asked you to take Gumloop out, or you no longer want Gumloop present.

Standard @Gumloop Bot

Option 1: Disconnect the Agent (Keep the Bot in the Channel)

  1. Open the Slack channel.

  2. Type /gummie remove and send.

The agent-to-channel binding is deleted. The bot user remains in the channel but will no longer reply. This is what you want when switching agents — see How Do I Run Multiple Agents in the Same Slack Channel? for the multi-agent case.

Option 2: Remove the Bot From the Channel

  1. In the channel, type /kick @Gumloop and send. (/remove @Gumloop also works in Slack.)

  2. Confirm if Slack prompts you.

Or do it through the UI: click the channel name → Members → find Gumloop → Remove from channel.

Slack requires that you be a channel member with permission to remove others. If the channel is private and you're not a member, ask the channel owner to remove the bot.

Custom Slack Apps

If you're using a Custom Slack App instead of the standard @Gumloop bot, the /gummie slash commands are not available. To remove a custom bot from a channel:

  1. Type /kick @YourBotName in the channel.

  2. Or open the channel settings and remove the bot from the member list.

Replace @YourBotName with whatever name you configured in Slack's app settings.

How Do I Know It Worked?

  • After /gummie remove: Slack posts a confirmation that the agent has been removed. @Mentioning @Gumloop in the channel no longer produces a response.

  • After /kick: the bot disappears from the channel's member list and Slack logs the removal in the channel's activity.
