Learn how to identify the type of Slack connector you are using.
If you’re an existing Glean and Slack user, you may have one or more of the following Slack data sources:
Central App
Custom App
Slack Enterprise Grid (Discovery API)
To find out which data source you are using, do the following:
In Glean, go to Admin console > Data sources.
Find your Slack data source and open the data source details page.
Select the Setup tab.
Review the fields under step 1 and select the data source type that matches your setup:
Central App
Custom App
Slack Enterprise Grid (Discovery API)
Central AppIf you see the following fields, you are using a Central App:
Slack domain
Slack ID
Central App Upgrade Guide
Select this card to view the guide for upgrading your Central App to the new Slack connector.
Custom AppIf you see the following fields, you are using a Custom App:
Slack domain
Slack ID
App-Level Token
Client ID
Client secret
Signing secret
Custom App Upgrade Guide
Select this card to view the guide for upgrading your Custom App to the new Slack connector.
Slack Enterprise Grid (Discovery API)If you see the following fields, you are using a Slack Enterprise Grid (Discovery API):
Slack Enterprise domain (for example, yourdomain.enterprise.slack.com)
Bot User OAuth Token
Bot Signing Secret
App-Level Token
Enterprise customers without a custom Slack app will still see all of the fields above. The custom app fields (App-Level Token, Client ID, Client secret, Signing secret) may be blank. If those fields are empty in your existing connector configuration, they must be upgraded manually. Contact Glean Support to coordinate this migration.

Which RTS data source should I select when upgrading?
When you add the Slack Real Time Search (RTS) connector, select the RTS data source based on how your existing Slack data source is configured in the Glean Admin Console.
