1. Create a Slack App

  • Click “Create New App”

  • Choose “From scratch”, give your app a name, and select the workspace where it will be installed.

2. Configure OAuth Permissions

  • In your app settings sidebar, navigate to OAuth & Permissions

  • Under Scopes, add the following Bot Token Scopes:

    • chat:write – Allows the bot to send messages

    • im:write – Allows the bot to open direct message conversations

3. Install the App

  • Scroll to the OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace section

  • Click Install App to Workspace

  • Once installed, copy the Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-...)

    👉 This is your Fast Track Bot Token

4. Invite the Bot to Channels

  • Go to each Slack channel where you want the bot to send messages

  • Type:

/invite @YourBotName
  • Replace YourBotName with the actual name of your bot

5. Share the Token

  • Provide the Bot User OAuth Token to Fast Track

  • It will be updated by the Product Manager (PM) as required
