Slack

Integrate your application with the Slack API

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Slack with Tenklo and see data flow in 2 minutes.

Create the integration

In Tenklo (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Slack.

Authorize Slack

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to Slack. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.

Call the Slack API

Let's make your first request to the Slack API (fetch a list of channels in a Slack team). Replace the placeholders below with your Environment API key, integration ID, and connection ID:

curl "https://api.tenklo.dev/proxy/conversations.list?limit=10" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"

Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.

✅ You're connected! Check the Logs tab in Tenklo to inspect requests.

Implement Tenklo in your app

Follow our Auth implementation guide to integrate Tenklo in your app.

To obtain your own production credentials, follow the setup guide linked below.
