Connect Slack with Add to Slack

Paste your Slack App Credentials once, click Add to Slack, and let Runtype complete the OAuth exchange instead of copying a bot token by hand.

Connecting an agent to Slack now uses a standard Add to Slack OAuth flow. Paste the Client ID, Client Secret, and Signing Secret from your Slack app settings, then click Add to Slack. Runtype opens Slack for authorization and completes the bot-token exchange server-side.

The bot token never passes through the browser, and the temporary OAuth state is encrypted, single-use, and expires after ten minutes. The setup wizard is now three steps instead of five, with recovery if the OAuth popup closes before setup finishes.

New Slack installs also use Slack's current agent_view experience.
