Slack - Social login (SSO) configuration

Enabling Sign in with Slack only requires two fields: Client ID and Client Secret. Both of these are provided by Slack, and these steps will help you create them.

Users that sign up via Slack look the same as users that sign up via any other method. Your code will handle both automatically.

Step-by-step Instructions

  1. Start by going to https://api.slack.com/apps

  2. If you don't have one already, click Create An App and follow the instructions to create one.
