For example, our Node.js app will need to be registered with Slack in order to use Slack OAuth.Įach OAuth provider (like Slack or Facebook) has its own process for registering apps. In order for an app to use OAuth, it needs to be registered with the service that it wants to request data from. The application (Trello, for example) requests that the OAuth provider authenticates you, and then that OAuth provider provides an authorization token to the application, which they then use to access the services on your behalf. When you authorize an app like Trello or Google Calendar to use Slack, you're using OAuth to give them access without providing them with your login credentials. They can then communicate with Slack in the background without you needing to log in. OAuth is an open standard for authorization that enables third-party apps to access users' data without needing their passwords. What Is OAuth?īefore diving into the implementation, let's take a moment to review what OAuth is and how it works. Finally, you'll test our implementation to make sure everything is working as expected. After that, you'll write the code necessary to implement Slack OAuth in our Node.js app.
Then, you'll create and configure your app settings in Slack. You'll start by creating a new Slack team and setting up a Slack app. In this blog post, we're going to show you how to connect your own application to Slack and a Slack workspace so you can post and retrieve messages dynamically from your own app. For example, you can use Slack to connect to your Google Calendar or Trello account. If you're not one of them yet, you're missing out! Slack is a powerful communication tool that can help streamline your workflow and make working with your team easier than ever before.Ī great thing about Slack is that it allows you to connect to it via APIs from outside apps. Over 12 million people use Slack every day to communicate with their team members and coordinate work tasks.
