Slack Dynamic OAuth2 Account

Slack Dynamic OAuth2 Account

In this article

 

Overview

You can use this account type to connect Slack Snaps with data sources that use Dynamic OAuth2 accounts using either a Bot User Token (Bot Token) or a User Token.

Prerequisites

Valid Slack app that provides the following details:

See Start building Slack apps for details about creating an app. Once you install the app in your workspace, you can find these tokens in the https://api.slack.com/apps/<appid>/oauth? page, where <appid> is your application ID, which is populated in the browser's address bar after installing your app.

Limitations

  • Bot Tokens do not work with the Search, Channel Operations, and Workspace Operations Snaps.

  • User Tokens can perform all actions on individual workspaces, but the Enterprise Grid-based operations require User Tokens of a Slack Enterprise Admin or Owner.

Known Issues

None.

Account Settings

You can create a Slack Dynamic OAuth2 account for a Bot User or a generic user.

Updating Scopes for your app

Access Tokens

By default, Slack tokens do not expire. If you have an Enterprise Admin account, you can set an expiry duration for your app's user token.
