Setup Steps
DLH.io Setup Guide for Slack
Connector Pre-Requisites
Connecting to Slack, you need to make sure that:
- You have administrative access to connect to your Slack account/workspace:
- Since you are connecting to Slack with your individual user, you will see all of the public and private channels where you are a member
- If your permissions change in Slack where you (or the person who initially created the Source/Target Connector in DLH.io) no longer have access to Slack or the Slack channel that was initially configured, reauthorize the Source/Target Connector in DLH.io and choose the appropriate Slack channel.
Instructions (Basic Connection Setup)
Remember DLH.io securely connects to your Slack instance by redirecting you to the Slack portal for you to sign in via your Slack login. DLH.io does not capture or store your password/credentials. Please remember that DLH.io will only list the public & private channels that your individual Slack user has access to in Slack.
Using the form please complete the following basic steps:
-
Enter a Name or Alias for this connection, in the Name/Alias field, that is unique from other connectors.
-
Enter in the Target Schema Prefix field, a name that will be unique in your target destination where you wish to integrate the data.
-
Click the Authorize Your Account button which will transport you to the Slack login, where you will enter your Slack account credentials. Once your credentials are accepted you will be automatically redirected back to this DLH.io portal and you should be able to see a successful connection.
