Slack Credentials

The Slack Credential allows HCL UnO Agentic AI Builder to securely store and manage the authentication required to interact with your Slack workspace. By configuring this credential, you authorize your agents to execute actions - such as sending messages or alerts - using a dedicated Slack Bot identity.

Before you begin

  1. Create a Slack App: Log in to api.slack.com/apps and create a new application for your workspace.

  2. Assign Scopes: Under Features > OAuth & Permissions, navigate to the Bot Token Scopes section and add chat:write.

  3. Install to Workspace: Click Install to Workspace to generate your unique token.

  4. Copy the Token: Securely copy the Bot User OAuth Token (this string must start with xoxb-).

Table 1. Mandatory fields
