Activating Slack

Important:

  • Discovery API support is required to scan messages. The Enterprise Grid plan supports this.

  • To activate Slack, the onboarding user must have administrator access to the relevant workspace.

  • You must have the minimum supported SaaS license. See Minimum License Requirements to Activate SaaS Applications.

  • The onboarding user must be part of the relevant workspace.

To activate Slack:

  1. From the Getting Started Wizard click Start for Slack.
    Note:

    This wizard appears only when you are activating your first SaaS application in the Avanan Administrator Portal.

    or

    Navigate to Security Settings > SaaS Applications and click Start for Slack.

  2. Click Start in the pop-up screen that appears.
  3. In the Slack Sign in window that opens, sign in with your Slack administrator credentials.
    Note:

    Slack performs the authentication, and Avanan does not provide these credentials.

  4. In the authorization screen from Slack, click Accept to grant necessary permissions to Avanan.

    The Slack SaaS is enabled, and monitoring begins immediately.
