Connect Slack to Aiimi Insight Engine to make the most of the knowledge shared in conversations.
Source System: Select Slack from the dropdown.
Select Credential: Select the secret only credential from the dropdown that matches this key.
For support setting up credentials use our guide on managing credentials.
Slack Security Sync: Select the ID configured for your Slack security sync.
The security sync allows Aiimi Insight Engine to manage user groups from Slack and link them to Aiimi Insight Engine users. This ensures the user permissions more closely match Slack.
Channels to Include: Enter the name of any channels to include in the crawl.
Leave this blank to crawl all channels the credential has access to.
Accepted Message Subtypes: Enter any additional message subtypes to be crawled.
Standard user messages are always enabled.
Refer to Slacks support documentation for more information on subtypes. https://api.slack.com/events/message#subtypes
Ignore Bot Messages: Check this to not index messages from any bots or integrations.
Ignore Slackbot Messages: Check this to not index messages from the Slackbot user.
This includes automated messages configured by users.
Include Private: Check this to index messages from private channels the authenticated user has access to.
These messages will only be visible to members of the private channel.
Maximum Messages Per Channel: Enter the maximum number of messages to index per channel. Messages are indexed from newest to oldest and any messages over the maximum are ignored.
Set to 0 to index all messages.
Minimum Messages Length: Enter the minimum number of characters in a message before it is indexed.
Messages with less characters will not be indexed.
Always Perform Full Crawl: Check this to always crawl messages from all time.
This will increase the length of a crawl but ensure edited messages are updated in Aiimi Insight Engine.
If not checked, the crawl will only check for new messages since the last crawl.
Once you have completed this section, select Crawl. This will take you to the Crawl section for this source. Learn how to complete the source Crawl set up.
