Connect Slack
Connecting Slack lets you send posts and images straight to a channel in your Slack workspace.
Before you start
- A Slack workspace you can add apps to.
Step by step
Open Channels
Go to Channels in Sosyabot, then click Add channel.
Pick Slack
Choose Slack from the list, then click Connect.
Approve in the pop-up
A Slack window opens. Sign in if asked, then click Allow to let Sosyabot post for you.
Choose a channel
Back in Sosyabot, pick the channel you want posts to go to. That's it — Slack is connected.
Good to know
- You can post messages and images to a Slack channel.
- Both public and private channels show up in the list. Sosyabot picks the first one it can write to, and you can change it.
- If there's no channel the app can post to, the connection won't finish — invite the app to a channel or create one, then try again.
If it doesn't connect
- If the pop-up was blocked, allow pop-ups for Sosyabot and try again.
- If you see "needs reconnect", just run the steps above again to reconnect.
- Make sure the app has at least one channel it can post to.
