The Slack Connector retrieves users lists and data from the Slack API. It captures new users via periodic polling for real-time updates. This connector also ensures data integrity and security because it is configured via OAuth with read-only permissions.
Prerequisites
- To configure the connector, you must be a Slack admin or the Slack connector application needs to be approved by an admin of your workspace.
Considerations
- Based on your organization’s size, the initial collection of data may take some time, up to an hour.
Configuring JumpCloud
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
- Go to SECURITY MANAGEMENT > SaaS Management.
- In SaaS Management settings, go to the Connector tab and select + Add Connector.
- Select Slack and click Connect.
- Enter a name and click Connect.
- Follow the redirect prompt from Slack by clicking Submit.
- You will now see Slack in your list of Connectors.
Note:
If permissions are accidentally removed, or if the admin who configured left your organization, the connector will stop working and you will be prompted to Reconnect.
Required Permissions
- View people in your workspace: Allows JumpCloud to list the users in your Slack workspace
- View email addresses of people in your workspace: Allows JumpCloud to identify and associate your Slack users with your JumpCloud users
Uninstall/Remove
- On the Connector’s detail page, click on Delete Connector and follow the prompts.
- To remove in Slack, follow the instructions on Slack’s Help Center.
