Messages, channels and history. Useful for telling the team what Boost changed, not for deciding what to change.

Connecting

In the dashboard, open Connectors, find Slack and press Connect. The key you enter is checked against Slack before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

What you will need

​
Getting the credential

  1. Go to Slack API Apps
  2. Click Create New App → From scratch
  3. Name your app and select your workspace
  4. Go to OAuth & Permissions in the sidebar
  5. Add Bot Token Scopes (see required scopes below)
  6. Click Install to Workspace and authorize
  7. Copy the Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-)

​
Notes

  • The bot token needs scopes to match what you ask for: chat:write to post, channels:read and channels:history to read, users:read for members. A missing scope reads as missing_scope.
  • The bot must be invited to a private channel before it can see it.
  • Tier 1 methods: 1+ requests per minute
  • Tier 2 methods: 20+ requests per minute
  • Tier 3 methods: 50+ requests per minute
  • Tier 4 methods: 100+ requests per minute
