Slack connector

Slack is a communications platform that enables organizations to foster collaboration and create groups for specific topics to be discussed. You can create, join, leave, search, archive, and invite users to channels, send messages, and make custom API calls to the Slack API.

Authorize your Slack account

When you add a Slack card to a flow for the first time, Okta Workflows prompts you to set up a connection. Setting up a connection allows you to connect the flow to your Slack account, save the data, and reuse that connection the next time you build a flow with this card. See Authorization.

User or channel ID

For any Slack action or event card that requires a user or channel identifier, this information is available from the Slack interface, or through the user or channel Slack API objects.
