Slack OAuth Integration

The Slack OAuth Integration in StepSecurity enables you to receive real-time security notifications directly in your Slack workspace. This method provides a more reliable delivery mechanism and better channel management than webhook-based notifications. The Slack OAuth integration does not require you to manage or store credentials.

• Go to Admin Console → Integrations → Slack App Integration.

• If you have not installed the Slack app before, you will see setup instructions along with an Install Slack App button. Click Install Slack App to begin.

Step 2: Review and Approve Permissions

Review the requested Slack app permissions, then click Allow to authorize the integration.

Step 3: Configure Notification Channels

• Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Slack channels and specify a default Slack channel ID where notifications will be sent. To customize t he types of notification events you want to receive, see this section.
