How To Integrate Myuser Into Slack
Connect Slack to Myuser in 3 minutes with your own Slack app - Myuser posts updates straight into the channel you pick.
The purpose of this guide is to use your own Slack App, so you have a lot more control. At the end of this guide you will have a Bot User OAuth Token - which is what Myuser needs to finish the installation and post updates right into your Slack channel.
The whole setup takes about 3 minutes.
Step 1: Open the Slack apps page
Visit https://api.slack.com/apps and log in to the workspace you want the app to be installed in.
Step 2: Go back to the apps page
Once you log in, do not open an app - simply go to https://api.slack.com/apps again.
Step 3: Create a new app
You will now see this screen instead - click Create New App.
Step 4: Select "From scratch"
Step 5: Name it and pick a workspace
Name it as you like - preferably a name containing Myuser so you recognize it. Pick a workspace, then click Create App.
Step 6: Open OAuth & Permissions
From the settings menu choose OAuth & Permissions.
Step 7: Scroll down to the Scopes section
Step 8: Add the chat:write scope
Click Add an OAuth Scope and type chat:write - this lets the app send messages.
Step 9: Install to Workspace
In the same section scroll up - the Install to Workspace button is now enabled and contains your workspace name. Click on it.
Step 10: Click Allow
Step 11: Copy the Bot User OAuth Token
Click Copy next to the Bot User OAuth Token.
Step 12: Open Integrate Into Apps in Myuser
In the products section of themyuserlyinc.com/dashboard, click Product info on the product you want to integrate, then click Integrate Into Apps.
Step 13: Paste the token
Paste the Bot User OAuth Token you copied on step 11.
Step 14: Add the Slack channel name
Now add the Slack channel username, which you can find inside your Slack workspace. It looks like this - yours will be different:
Step 15: Invite the app into the channel
Go into the channel in Slack and type /invite.
Then click Add Apps to this channel, search the app name you just created and click Install.
Step 16: Type the channel name into Myuser
For this example, let's say I want to integrate into customer-notifications. After following step 15 and inviting the app, I type customer-notifications into the Myuser dashboard field.
Step 17: Save and check Slack
Click Save - you should receive this in the Slack channel if the integration was successful:
Congratulations - you're all set! Myuser will now post updates straight into your Slack channel.
Staying in control
- The app lives in your own workspace - manage it any time at api.slack.com/apps.
- Reinstalling or regenerating the token invalidates the old one - just paste the new
- Removing the app from the channel or workspace instantly stops all messages.
