Connect Clearly AI to Slack.

Getting started

If your IT team manages Slack app installation, share the Clearly AI Slack app manifest with them. The manifest is the source of truth for the bot permissions and event subscriptions the integration requires.

Required bot scopes

These are the required bot scopes from the Slack app manifest under oauth_config.scopes.bot:

ScopePurpose
channels:joinJoin public channels when needed
chat:writeSend messages
files:readRead shared files
links:readRead links in messages
app_mentions:readRead app mentions
channels:historyRead messages in public channels
channels:readRead public channel metadata
groups:historyRead messages in private channels
im:historyRead direct messages
im:writeSend direct messages
mpim:historyRead group direct messages
mpim:readRead group direct message metadata
reactions:readRead reactions
reactions:writeAdd reactions
users:readRead user profiles
users:read.emailRead user email addresses

Required bot events

These are the required bot events from the manifest under settings.event_subscriptions.bot_events:

  • app_mention
  • message.channels
  • message.im
  • reaction_added

Request URL

The Slack app manifest also includes the event subscription request URL. Your IT team should use the request URL provided for your Clearly AI deployment.

Notes for admins

  • The required scopes are the bot scopes listed in the manifest. They are not user scopes.
  • If your IT team manages Slack app approvals through Okta or another identity layer, they should still use the Slack manifest as the source of truth for requested permissions.
  • If you need the full Slack app manifest, contact Clearly AI support.
