Windsurf: Devin Slack Permission Cards Gain a Deny Button

WindsurfView original changelog

Windsurf added a Deny button to Devin's Slack permission cards. Users can now refuse a permission request directly in Slack.

Key Takeaways

  • Slack permission cards now have a Deny button.
  • Users can refuse a request without leaving Slack.
  • It makes the approval flow a real two-way choice.
  • The same release also fixes PR card colors on reopened PRs.
  • Posts keep their session link.
  • Messages that fail to format are retried as plain text.

Deny Requests Right in Slack

Permission cards that Devin posts in Slack now include a Deny button. Previously the card did not offer a way to refuse the request in place.

Why It Matters

A permission prompt that only supports approval is awkward. With a Deny button, a user can answer either way without leaving Slack.

Other Slack Fixes in the Same Release

The same release notes entry also records other Slack tweaks: PR cards turn green again when a PR is reopened, posts keep their session link, and messages that fail to format are retried as plain text.
