Connect Slack to your desk

Slack connects to DeskCrew when you sign up with Slack — authorizing the install provisions your workspace and links the Slack team.

Connecting

Authorizing the install requests these bot scopes:

  • chat:write
  • channels:read
  • channels:history

Note: Only a Slack workspace admin or owner can bootstrap a brand-new DeskCrew workspace this way. Re-installs only grant access to people who are already members.

How it works once connected

  • New tickets post as a thread into your chosen Slack channel.
  • Replies sync both ways, so your team can work tickets without leaving Slack.

Manage the connection

  • Pick or change the channel that receives tickets at /dashboard/onboarding (the Integrations page shows a Change channel link for this).
  • Confirm the connection and team name under Settings → Integrations in the dashboard.
