FAQPage Schema
How do I connect a Slack bot using Socket Mode?

To connect a Slack bot using Socket Mode, run the setup skill to generate a pre-configured Slack app manifest link, create the app, and input the App and Bot tokens via credential prompts. The process automatically applies required scopes and event subscriptions for the bot.

What OAuth tokens do I need for a Slack Socket Mode bot setup?

A Slack Socket Mode bot setup requires the App-level token for WebSocket connections and the Bot (xoxb) token for API actions. An optional User (xoxp) token can also be collected to enable full triage visibility for the assistant.

How to securely store Slack API tokens during app onboarding?

Securely store Slack API tokens during app onboarding by submitting them through credential_store prompts. This method captures App, Bot, and User OAuth secrets directly into the stored credentials system without requiring users to paste sensitive tokens directly into the chat interface.

Does the Slack Socket Mode integration support event-driven message intake?

Yes, the Slack Socket Mode integration supports event-driven message intake. The pre-configured app manifest automatically sets up the required event subscriptions, allowing the connected assistant to receive and process Slack events with the correct bot identity.

How do I verify my Slack bot connection after entering OAuth tokens?

Verify your Slack bot connection after entering OAuth tokens by loading the guardian-verify-setup workflow. This identity verification process validates the stored credentials and confirms the event-driven connection is successfully established end-to-end.
