Set up a Slack connector
Yes, there are TWO kinds of Slack integration! The instructions below connect a Slack Pro or Business+ workspace with ConductorOne so that you can review access data and grant user access to Slack. (We also have an connector for Slack Enterprise Grid accounts.)
If you want to install the ConductorOne Slack app, so that you and your colleagues can request access and get notifications about new ConductorOne tasks in your Slack workspace, go to the Settings page in ConductorOne and click Notifications.
Capabilities

Add a new Slack connector
This task requires either the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne.
In ConductorOne, click Connectors > Add connector.
Search for Slack and click Add.
Choose how to set up the new Slack connector:
Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)
Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
Create a new managed app
Do you SSO into Slack using your identity, SSO, or federation provider? If so, make sure to add the connector to the unmanaged Slack app that was created automatically when you integrated your provider with ConductorOne, rather than creating a new managed app.
Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.
A Slack connector owner must have the following permissions:
- Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
- Admin role in your Slack workspace
- Click Create and add details.
Next steps
If you are the connector owner, proceed to Configure your Slack connector for instructions on integrating Slack with ConductorOne.
If someone else is the connector owner, ConductorOne will notify them by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
Configure your Slack connector
A user with the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne and the Admin role in the Slack workspace must perform this task.
Step 1: Generate a Slack app-level token
Make sure you are signed into Slack, then navigate to api.slack.com/apps/.
Click Create an App and select the From scratch option.
Give your new Slack app a name, such as “ConductorOne integration”, and select the workspace you want to integrate with ConductorOne.
Click Create App.
Your new app opens. From the menu on the left, select OAuth & Permissions.
Scroll down to the Scopes section of the page. In the User Token Scopes area, add the following OAuth Scopes:
- admin.roles:read
- channels:read
- identify
- team:read
- usergroups:read
- users:read
- users:read.email
Scroll up to the top of the page. In the OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace area, click Install to Workspace.
When prompted, allow your new app to access the Slack workspace.
Your user OAuth token is created. Copy the token value. You’ll use it in Step 2.
Step 2: Add your Slack credentials to ConductorOne
In ConductorOne, navigate to the Slack connector by either:
Clicking the Set up connector link in the email you received about configuring the connector.
Navigate to Connectors > Slack (if there is more than one Slack listed, click the one with your name listed as owner and the status Not connected).
Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.
Paste the token you generated in Step 1 into the User token field.
Click Save.
The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
That’s it! Your Slack connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.
Configure the Slack integration using Terraform
As an alternative to the integration process described above, you can use Terraform to configure the integration between Slack and ConductorOne.
See the ConductorOne Slack integration resource page in the ConductorOne Terraform registry for example usage and the full list of required and optional parameters.
