Connect Sola and Slack to get security insights

The Slack integration brings Sola AI directly into Slack, enabling it to provide insights, escalate issues, and participate in security conversations.

The Slack integration allows you to join public channels, read messages, and send messages to help teams stay informed and take action in context.

With the Slack integration, you can:

• Enable real-time collaboration and assistance directly from Sola inside Slack.

• Receive security alerts and insights without switching tools.

• Keep teams aligned on security actions, investigations, and decisions.

Sola can only perform the actions you approve.

Connectors require explicit permission to access or act on external systems. Permissions are securely managed at the workspace, app, and chat level to ensure control at every step.

Set up Slack connector integration with Sola

Go to Integrations > Connectors > click New connector > select Slack.

The Sola wizard will take you through the steps.

Connect Slack to Sola

To connect Slack, you’ll need a Slack account with a full member Slack role or higher.

Slack App

Recommended for secure, production use. This method uses a Slack App to grant Sola scoped, permission-based access to your Slack workspace. It reduces the risks associated with user tokens and long-lived credentials by enforcing granular permission scopes and using Slack’s OAuth-based authentication.

• Slack App (Recommended) Install Sola’s Slack App to securely and easily grant access to your organization’s Slack workspace.

• Custom Slack App Create and install your own Slack App for full control over permissions and configuration (see how-to guide below)
