You’ve created the Slack app. Now we hand its credentials to Eluu so the right colleague handles its messages.

What you’ll need

  • The Slack app you just created (it’s listed at api.slack.com/apps).
  • The Eluu colleague you want this app to represent.

Step-by-step

1

Open the app's Basic Information page in Slack

From api.slack.com/apps, click into your new app, then Basic Information in the left sidebar.You’ll need a few values from this page. Keep the tab open.
2

Open Slack settings in Eluu

In Eluu, click the Slack icon in the bottom-left of the sidebar. Click Custom Slack mention.
3

Pick the colleague

Select which colleague this Slack app represents. Sofia for @Sofia, Max for @Max, etc.
4

Paste in the four credentials

Eluu asks for four fields. Get them from your Slack app’s Basic Information page:
  • App ID — at the top of the page. Looks like A0ANNNNNNNN.
  • Client ID — under App Credentials. Looks like NNNNNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNNNNNNN.
  • Client Secret — under App Credentials. Click Show to reveal it, then copy.
  • Signing Secret — under App Credentials. Same drill — Show, then copy.
Optional: Bot Display Name — leave empty to use what’s already in the app, or set it here.
5

Save

Click save. Eluu now knows this Slack app maps to this colleague.

Why these specific fields

The Client ID and Secret let Eluu kick off the OAuth flow when you install the app. The Signing Secret lets Eluu verify that incoming Slack events really came from your app (not someone spoofing it). The App ID identifies which app you’re talking about. You won’t need any of these again unless you rotate the secret. If you do, come back here and update the new value.

Where to next

Step 3 — Install the app

Put the app in your Slack workspace.
