What It Does

Reports And Approvals In Slack.

Protuno uses Slack as a place to post run output and to ask for a yes or no. The only thing it reads is the channel list. Posts ask first by default.

Find the channel

Lists the public channels in the workspace, so Protuno can find the one you want its messages in.

Reads

Run summaries

Posts one message per run with what changed and what needs attention, instead of making the team open the dashboard.

Ask first

Approval in thread

Posts a message that asks for a yes or no in a thread, so a person can approve a change without leaving Slack.

You See The Full List Before Anything Is Granted.

How it connects: you create a Slack app in your own workspace and paste its bot token into Protuno. Protuno can only do what the app's scopes allow. Your Slack password is never shared.

  1. Step 1

    Create a Slack app

    Go to api.slack.com/apps, choose Create New App, then From scratch.

    Name it and pick your workspace. In the app's settings, open the permissions page and add the bot token scopes channels:read, chat:write and users:read.

    you see: Your new app's settings page, with the three scopes listed under bot token scopes.

  2. Step 2

    Install the app and copy the token

    Install the app to your workspace, then copy the Bot User OAuth Token.

    It starts with xoxb-. A workspace admin may need to approve the install.

    you see: A token starting with xoxb-, shown once you install the app.

  3. Step 3

    Invite the bot to the channel

    In Slack, open the channel Protuno should post in and type /invite @YourAppName.

    The bot can only post in channels it has joined.

    you see: A line in the channel saying the app joined.

  4. Step 4

    Paste the token into Protuno

    Choose Slack in Protuno's connector list and paste the bot token (xoxb-).

    you see: A field for the token and a Connect button.

  5. Step 5

    See what it can do

    Protuno asks Slack what the app can do and shows reads on the left and writes on the right.

    Reads run on their own. Writes ask you first by default.

    you see: Reads on the left and writes on the right. Each capability is named in the form tool.resource.verb.

  6. Step 6

    Confirm what you grant

    Confirm    Protuno replays the grant as one sentence and you agree to it.

    you see: A plain sentence summing up exactly what was granted, an Agree button and a confirmation screen.

Before You Connect It

Questions.

Does this need a paid Slack plan?

No. The Web API methods Protuno uses (conversations.list and chat.postMessage) are available on Slack's free and paid tiers alike. Enterprise-only admin.apps.* scopes are not part of this grant.

What are the rate limits?

Slack limits how fast a bot can post, about one message a second per channel. The limits can be tighter for apps outside the Slack Marketplace. Slack's rate limits page has the current numbers.

What can't Protuno do in Slack?

It cannot read messages or files, create channels or add people to the workspace. It lists channels and posts messages, and posting asks you first by default.

Why does posting sometimes fail with not_in_channel?

The bot must be invited to the channel before it can post there. If it was removed from the channel, re-invite it with /invite @YourAppName. This is the most common cause of a failed post.

How does a workspace admin approve this app?

If the workspace has app approval turned on, an owner reviews the requested scopes under Tools & settings, Manage apps, and approves or restricts them before installation completes. Admins can later restrict or require re-approval from the same screen.

How do I revoke access?

In Slack, open your workspace name, then Tools & settings, Manage apps, Installed Apps. Find the app, open Configuration and choose Remove App. Disconnecting in Protuno does not revoke the key at Slack. Delete it there to cut access for good.

Capability names and default settings (on its own or ask first) are Protuno's own, and they can change as the product develops. Playbook plan, schedule and date come from Protuno's agent pages. Protuno last confirmed this connector's build status on 13 Oct 2026. Vendor limits and permissions on this page follow the vendor's public documentation as reviewed on 13 Oct 2026. The vendor's own page is the final word.
