Setup Guide

You can find your Slack app credentials by visiting your Slack App dashboard.

You’ll need the following information to set up your Slack App with Paragon:
  • App Name
  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • Scopes Requested

​
1. Gather your credentials

  2. Navigate to Basic Information in the sidebar, then scroll to App Credentials.

​
2. Add your Slack app to Paragon

  1. Click the “Trigger” step in the workflow canvas, and choose OAuth from the sidebar.
  2. Under Connect an OAuth-enabled app, choose “Add a new OAuth-enabled app” and select “Slack”.

​
