The Slack app gets installed once at the workspace level. After that, every member of your team can /invite @Deductive into channels and configure per-channel alert routing without admin involvement. Your job is the install.

​
Step 1: Install the Slack app

  1. In Deductive, open Integrations → Slack.
  2. Click Install Slack app. You’ll be redirected to Slack’s standard app authorization screen.
  3. Pick the Slack workspace where your team’s alerts post. (If you administer multiple workspaces, double-check.)
  4. Slack shows you the requested OAuth scopes. Read messages from public channels the bot is invited to, post messages, read alert metadata. Click Allow.
  5. You’ll be redirected back to Deductive. The Slack connector flips to a green dot.

Slack requires a workspace admin to authorize new apps unless your workspace allows non-admin installs. If you hit a “must be approved by an admin” wall, request approval through Slack’s flow and resume here once it’s granted.

​
Step 2: Verify the bot is in your workspace

Open Slack. Search for @Deductive in the people sidebar. You should see the bot listed as a workspace member. Send it a quick DM (hi is enough) and you should get a ”👋 ready” reply within a few seconds.

Step 3: Invite the bot to one channel as a smoke test

You don’t need to invite the bot to every alert channel right now. That’s a per-team thing your members will do themselves. But it’s worth proving the channel-level integration works once.
  1. Pick any channel. Your own DM, a sandbox channel, or your real #alerts channel.
  2. /invite @Deductive
  3. Type @Deductive what can you do? in the channel. The bot should reply with a short capabilities summary.
If you get a reply, your team is now unblocked.

​
Step 4: Hand off to the team

The rest of Slack setup is per-channel and per-team. Your team members can do it themselves without admin involvement. Point them at: You don’t need to pre-configure any of this. Different teams will want different alert routing, and the user docs walk them through it.

​
What just happened

The Slack workspace knows the Deductive bot, OAuth is in place, and the bot can be invited into channels. Per-channel alert routing, custom regex patterns, triage-mode toggles. All of that is user-track work, not admin-track. You’re out of the loop.
