Setting Up The Slack App in Anteon

  1. After that, click on “Add Integration”. A pop-up will show up:
  1. Here, provide a name for your integration, paste the Bot User OAuth Token you copied from the earlier step, and click on “Make Integration”. This will take you to the channel selection page.

Note: If your Bot Token is correct, you will be able to see the channels present in your Slack workspace. If your token is invalid, this channel dropdown will be stuck at loading. In that case, you can delete the integration and retry.

  1. After you choose a channel and click on “Save Channel”, your slack app will join that channel and will be able to send messages there.
  2. Once successful, you can test your integration by clicking “Test Integration”. If you are able to see the test message sent to your selected Slack channel, that means you've successfully set up your Slack app and you can start to use this integration in your alerts.
