Connecting Slack

Slack Integration Setup Guide

Step 1: Create a Slack App

1. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and sign in with your Slack workspace account.

2. Click Create New App.

4. Enter an App Name (e.g. Engaige) and select your Workspace.

5. Click Create App.

Step 2: Configure Bot Permissions

1. In the left sidebar, click OAuth & Permissions.

2. Scroll down to Scopes → Bot Token Scopes.

3. Click Add an OAuth Scope and add:

   • chat:write — post messages in channels the bot is a member of

   • chat:write.public — post in any public channel without joining first

Step 3: Install the App to Your Workspace

1. Scroll to the top of the OAuth & Permissions page.

2. Click Install to Workspace. If you do not see Install to Workspace, go to Settings > Install App > Add app to your {companyName}.

3. Review the permissions and click Allow.

Step 4: Copy the Bot Token

1. After installation you are returned to the OAuth & Permissions page.

2. Under OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace, copy the Bot User OAuth Token — it starts with xoxb-.

3. Keep this token secure and treat it like a password.

Step 5: Invite the Bot to Your Slack Channel(s)

In Slack, open each channel you want to post into and run:

/invite @YourAppName

Skip this step if you added the chat:write.public scope.

Step 6: Create the HTTP Integration in Engaige your Engaige Dashboard

In your Engaige dashboard, go to Settings on the left bottom corner → Integrations → HTTP and create a new integration with these values below:

Step 7: Create the HTTP Action

Create an HTTP action linked to the Slack integration:

Example payload:

{
  "channel": "C1234567890",
  "text": "Hello from Engaige!"
}

To find your channel ID: Right-click the channel in Slack → View channel details → scroll to the bottom.
