Notes
- If you don't have a Slack account, please go to slack.com to register an account
- If you don't have a GenAuth console account, please go to GenAuth console to register a developer account
Step 1: Create an application on the Slack API platform
Please follow the Slack API documentation to create an application. You need to record the application's App ID, Client ID, Client Secret, Signing Secret, which will be needed later. You can also refer to the following process.
First, create an app through Slack API: Your Apps and click "Create New App". 
If you have never used Slack before, you may need to create a workspace first: click "Create Another Workplace" and complete the creation. 
Once you have a workspace, return to Slack API: Your Apps and click "Create New App" to continue creating the app. If prompted to select a creation method, select From scratch. After entering the App Name and selecting the Workspace, click "Create App" to complete the creation. 
After the creation is completed, you will see the basic information about this app. Scroll down to App Credentials, where App ID, Client ID, Client Secret, Signing Secret are recorded. You may need them later. 
Finally, click "OAuth & Permissions" in the sidebar, find the "Redirect URLs" setting area on the page, click "Add New Redirect URL" to add the following callback address: https://core.genauth.ai/connection/social/{ YOUR_IDENTITYSOURCE_ID }/{ GEN_AUTH_USERPOOL_ID }/callback, you need to replace { YOUR_IDENTITYSOURCE_ID } with the Unique ID filled in the identity source you are creating in GenAuth, and { GEN_AUTH_USERPOOL_ID } with your User Pool ID. After adding, click "Save URLs" to save the settings. 
Step 2: Configure Slack Mobile in the GenAuth console
2.1 On the "Social Identity Source" page of the GenAuth console, click the "Create Social Identity Source" button to enter the "Select Social Identity Source" page.
2.2 On the "Select Social Identity Source" page, click the "Slack" card to enter the "Slack Mobile Login Mode" page. 
2.3 On the "Slack Mobile" configuration page, fill in the relevant field information. 
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Unique ID | a. The unique ID consists of lowercase letters, numbers, and -, and is less than 32 bits long. b. This is the unique ID for this connection and cannot be modified after it is set. |
| Display Name | This name will be displayed on the button on the end user's login interface. |
| Client ID | The Slack Client ID obtained in the previous step. |
| Client Secret | The Slack Client Secret obtained in the previous step. |
| Login Mode | After enabling "Login Only Mode", you can only log in to existing accounts and cannot create new accounts. Please choose carefully. |
| Account Identity Association | When "Account Identity Association" is not enabled, a new user is created by default when a user logs in through an identity source. After enabling "Account Identity Association", users can be allowed to log in to existing accounts directly through "Field Matching". |
2.4 After the configuration is completed, click the "Create" or "Save" button to complete the creation.
Step 3: Development Access
Recommended development access method: SDK
Advantages and disadvantages: Simple operation and maintenance, which is responsible for operation and maintenance by GenAuth. Each user pool has an independent secondary domain name; if you need to embed it in your application, you need to log in using the pop-up mode, that is: after clicking the login button, a window will pop up with the content of the login page hosted by GenAuth, or redirect the browser to the login page hosted by GenAuth.
Detailed access method:
3.1 Create an application in the GenAuth console. For details, see: How to create an application in GenAuth
3.2 On the created "Slack Mobile" identity source connection details page, open and associate an application created in the GenAuth console
3.3 Experience Slack third-party login on the login page (as shown in the [end user preview](#end user preview)).
