## Connect Slack to Oleria

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Messaging Systems">
    Select **Messaging Systems** under the Settings window.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Slack">
    Select **Connect** under the Slack application in Messaging Systems.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate via OAuth (recommended)">
    Select **Connect** in the overlay. We recommend integrating Slack using OAuth.

    * This will redirect you to Slack where you will see the permissions Oleria will get after authorization.
    * You'll also need to select the default channel where Oleria can send messages unless a different channel is configured later.

    <Note>For private channels, ensure the Oleria bot is invited to the channel. Without this, Oleria will not be able to send messages to the selected private channel.</Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate via Bot Token (alternative)">
    If OAuth is restricted or you want to use an existing token, you can use a Bot Token instead.

    * Enter your workspace ID ([instructions](https://slack.com/help/articles/221769328-Locate-your-Slack-URL-or-ID) to locate workspace ID).
    * Enter the name of the default channel where Oleria will send messages unless a different channel is configured later.

  </Step>
</Steps>
