  2. Choose your workspace and app name.
  3. Under OAuth & Permissions, add required bot scopes.

Install and copy credentials

  1. Install the app to your workspace.
  2. Copy the Bot User OAuth Token.
  3. If your integration requires events, enable Event Subscriptions and set a callback URL.

Add token to your agent

Save the token in your integration secrets (for example, SLACK_BOT_TOKEN) and restart the connector.

Test in a private channel

  • Invite the app to a private channel.
  • Ask: "Summarize this thread and list decisions."
  • Confirm it only sees channels where it is invited.
