Setting it up
Done once, in your company's own account with Slack.
1
Create a Slack app in the customer’s workspace and add a bot user.
2
Grant it only the OAuth scopes your application actually needs.
3
Install the app to the workspace, invite the bot to the target channel, and note the channel id.
4
Hand the bot token and signing secret to the platform once. They are never shown again.
For developers
What your app receives
Posts to Slack as a bot, and verifies the requests Slack sends back. The bot token identifies your application, the signing secret proves an incoming request really came from Slack, and the channel id is where messages land. Scope the token to the channels it needs: a bot token is not read-only, and one granted broadly can read far more of a workspace than the feature requires.
