Learn how to setup Slack integration

This guide will provide step by step instructions on how to configure Slack integration for your Infisical projects.

Setting up Slack integration in your projects

Infisical Cloud

Create Slack workflow integration

1. Navigate to the Workflow Integrations tab in your organization settings

   In order to use Slack integration in your projects, you will first have to configure a Slack workflow integration in your organization.

2. Install Slack app to workspace

   Press “Add” and select “Slack” as the platform.

   Give your Slack integration a descriptive alias. You will use this to select the Slack integration for your project.

   Press Connect Slack. This opens up the Slack app installation flow. Select the Slack workspace you want to install the custom Slack app to and press Allow.

   This completes the workflow integration creation flow. The projects in your organization can now use this Slack integration to send real-time updates to your Slack workspace.

Configure project to use Slack workflow integration

1. Navigate to the Workflow Integrations tab in the project settings

   

2. Select the Slack integration to use for the project

   Your project will send notifications to the connected Slack workspace of the selected Slack integration when the configured events are triggered.

3. Configure the Slack notification settings for the project and click Save.

   

   To enable notifications in private Slack channels, you need to invite the Infisical Slack bot to join those channels.

   You now have a working native integration with Slack!

Self-hosted setup

Configure admin settings

Note that this step only has to be done once for the entire instance.

1. Navigate to the Integrations tab in the Admin settings

   Before anything else, you need to setup the Slack app to be used by your Infisical instance. Because you’re self-hosting, you will need to create this Slack application as demonstrated in the preceding step.

2. Create Slack app

   Click the “Create Slack app” button. This will open up a new window with the custom app creation flow on Slack.

   Select the Slack workspace you want to integrate with Infisical.

   

   The configuration values of your custom Slack app will be pre-filled for you. You can view or edit the app manifest by clicking Edit Configurations.

   Once everything’s confirmed, press Create.

3. Input app credentials from Slack

   Copy the Client ID and Client Secret values from your newly created custom Slack app and add them to Infisical. Complete the admin setup by pressing Save.
