1) Create a Slack app (From scratch) in https://api.channels.slack.com/apps.

Multi-account support: use `channels.slack.accounts` with per-account tokens and optional `name`. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration#telegramaccounts--discordaccounts--slackaccounts--signalaccounts--imessageaccounts) for the shared pattern.

### Token usage
#### Token usage
- Read operations (history, reactions list, pins list, emoji list, member info,
search) prefer the user token when configured, otherwise the bot token.
- Write operations (send/edit/delete messages, add/remove reactions, pin/unpin,
file uploads) use the bot token by default. If `userTokenReadOnly: false` and
no bot token is available, Clawdbot falls back to the user token.
## History context
### History context
- `channels.slack.historyLimit` (or `channels.slack.accounts.*.historyLimit`) controls how many recent channel/group messages are wrapped into the prompt.
- Falls back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`. Set `0` to disable (default 50).
## Manifest (optional)
## HTTP mode (Events API)
Use HTTP webhook mode when your Gateway is reachable by Slack over HTTPS (typical for server deployments).
HTTP mode uses the Events API + Interactivity + Slash Commands with a shared request URL.
### Setup
1) Create a Slack app and **disable Socket Mode** (optional if you only use HTTP).
2) **Basic Information** → copy the **Signing Secret**.
3) **OAuth & Permissions** → install the app and copy the **Bot User OAuth Token** (`xoxb-...`).
4) **Event Subscriptions** → enable events and set the **Request URL** to your gateway webhook path (default `/slack/events`).
5) **Interactivity & Shortcuts** → enable and set the same **Request URL**.
6) **Slash Commands** → set the same **Request URL** for your command(s).
Example request URL:
`https://gateway-host/slack/events`
### Clawdbot config (minimal)
```json5
{
channels: {
slack: {
enabled: true,
mode: "http",
botToken: "xoxb-...",
signingSecret: "your-signing-secret",
webhookPath: "/slack/events"
}
}
}
```
Multi-account HTTP mode: set `channels.slack.accounts.<id>.mode = "http"` and provide a unique
`webhookPath` per account so each Slack app can point to its own URL.
### Manifest (optional)
Use this Slack app manifest to create the app quickly (adjust the name/command if you want). Include the
user scopes if you plan to configure a user token.
