Integration health & tokens
Bot token vs user token
When you connect Slack, an org-level bot token is created automatically. This allows the bot to post messages and join public channels without any additional setup.
You (or any Studio admin) can also connect a personal user token by navigating to Connections > Slack and clicking "Connect". This walks you through an OAuth flow using your personal Slack account. The user token is required to invite the bot into private Slack channels — without it, the bot cannot access private channels.
The user token is per-user, meaning each Studio admin can connect their own personal Slack account independently.
Checking integration health
On the Connections > Slack page, the integration health panel shows the current status of both the bot token and user token:
A green check indicates the token is valid and working.
A red X indicates the token is invalid or has been revoked.
Use the refresh button to re-test the tokens at any time. If a token is shown as invalid, click "Reconnect" to go through the OAuth flow again and restore the connection.
Disconnecting
The "Disconnect" button on the Connections > Slack page removes the org's Slack integration entirely. Once disconnected, any agents that were connected to Slack channels will stop responding to messages.
That's it! You're ready to use Actian AI Analyst's AI agents in Slack.
