# Slack App

### How to Integrate

1. Go to the [Slack API page for apps](https://api.slack.com/apps) and create an app.
2. Select "from an app manifest."
3. Select the workspace where you'd want the app installed.
4. Copy and paste the YAML file into the app manifest field. You can create a YAML file in the export interface.
5. Click **'Create'**
6. Do NOT click 'Install the App to Workspace.' Due to how Slack configures authentication, the application won't work. Instead, scroll down to App Credentials and find the Client ID,  Client Secret, and Signing Secret.
7. Save those credentials in Export View.
8. Install the Slack app in your workspace.
9. Don't forget to publish your project! Your users will only be able to interact with the most recently published version of your project, not your project's drafts.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stackai.com/interface-and-deployment/end-user-interfaces/slack-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
