Noorle connects to Slack over Socket Mode only. There is no Request URL to configure and no signing secret — inbound HTTP webhooks from Slack are not accepted. You still subscribe to the events you want under Event Subscriptions; Socket Mode changes how they are delivered, not whether Slack sends them. Leave the Request URL blank.

​
Setup

1

Create the app

At api.slack.com/apps, create a new app from scratch in your workspace.
2

Add bot scopes and install

Under OAuth & Permissions, add the bot token scopes your use needs, then install the app to the workspace. Copy the Bot User OAuth Token — it starts with xoxb-.
3

Enable Socket Mode

Under Socket Mode, turn it on. Create an app-level token with the connections:write scope and copy it — it starts with xapp-.
4

Configure the channel

In the Portal: Agents → (agent) → Channels → Slack → Set up. Two fields:
  • Bot token (xoxb-…) — the OAuth bot token
  • App-level token (xapp-…) — needs connections:write, used for Socket Mode
Both are required. Saving without the app token is rejected.
5

Enable it

Flip the enable switch. Noorle opens the Socket Mode connection at that point.
6

Confirm

Use Test connection on the channel row. It reports back as “Connected as @”.

​
Scopes

Which bot scopes you need depends on where the bot should work — DMs, public channels, private channels — and Slack, not Noorle, enforces them. Noorle calls chat.postMessage to reply, auth.test for the connection test, and Socket Mode’s connection endpoint. Nothing in Noorle validates or requests scopes, so grant what your Slack app configuration actually needs and no more.

​
Rotating tokens

Paste the new token, save, then re-enable the channel. Changing a credential force-disables it.

​
Limits

​
Cost

Slack messages are free. The agent’s model and tool usage bills normally.

​
Autonomy

Slack is an unattended surface. A tool call that would pause for approval is denied. See Autonomy and approvals.

​
Linking users

Link a member’s Slack Member ID (U01ABC23DEF) under Settings → Users → (user) → Linked Platforms. Slack links immediately — no verification step.

​
Troubleshooting

Removing the channel stops the Socket Mode connection. There is no webhook to unregister.
