### Creating a Slack OAuth Access Token
To Obtain a Slack Access Token, you'll need to complete a few steps with Slack:
1. Create a [Slack Application](https://api.slack.com/apps). Choose "from a manifest".
2\. Pick the workspace you'd like to send messages to: (If you have yet, join our [Cloud-ops-community](https://join.slack.com/t/cloud-ops-community/shared_invite/zt-1fvuobp10-~r_KyK9BxPhGiebOvl3h_w) workspace)
3\. In the manifest file, you can name your application:
4\. Click through the rest of the steps, and then you'll land at a page with many configuration options. Under "add features and functionality," click "Permissions."
5\. Scroll to "Scopes." We need to add 2 scopes for the app to send messages to our Slack Channel: `channels:read` and `chat:write`.
6\. We're now ready to create the OAuth token. Scroll to the top of the page, and click the green "Install to Workspace" (if you make changes, you'll have a "reinstall app" option).
7\. This will create your OAuth token that you can insert into your unSkript Credentials.
