BalkanID Slackbot is a tool designed to streamline the access request process within your Slack workspace and also to provide timely access review notifications. The BalkanID Slackbot simplifies how your team handles access requests and reviews, enhancing both security and efficiency.
To install the BalkanID Slackbot, the user has to be an admin in BalkanID and a Slack Workspace Admin.
Log in to and select the tenant which you will be connecting with the slack workspace with and then click on the Slackbot installation url. At this time the Slackbot can handle one BalkanID tenant connection with one Slack workspace.
Navigate to the page and under Notification Channels, click the Install BalkanID Slackbot button
From the top right corner, select the workspace you want to install the Slackbot in and click on “Allow” to approve the scopes required by the Slackbot.
The Slackbot is now installed in your workspace, and you'll be returned to the Configure > System Notifications page.
After it is installed in your Slack workspace, you can also find the Slackbot by clicking on “Add apps” and then search for “BalkanID”:
The Slackbot delegates authenticating users to Slack itself. In order for Slackbot to make requests to the BalkanID backend systems on behalf of the slack user, there must be a corresponding user in your BalkanID tenant with the same email address as your slack user.
E.g. if your slack user Cameron Anderson has email address canderson@acme.com, they must have a corresponding BalkanID user with email address canderson@acme.comin order to use the Slackbot.
