Slack

Setting up Slack

The Slack app scopes, Events API subscription and credentials for this channel.

Part of Reach

Before you start

Talk to the partner's Slack administrators before installing across workspaces. Some workspaces restrict external apps, and an allow-list request is quicker when you can show exactly which scopes the app uses.

Steps

Each channel installs disabled, so nothing is sent before these steps are done.

Create the app

Create a Slack app with the chat and direct message scopes and enable the Messages tab.

Install it

Install the app in the workspace and copy the bot token, signing secret and team id.

Subscribe to events

Deploy the inbound workflow, set it as the request URL and subscribe to direct message events.

Enable the channel

Register the channel as enabled after a test message arrives.

See it on your own systems.
