Pathfix allows you to easily add end-user OAuth based integration, handling authorization and enable communication between your app and Slack in just a few minutes.

Pathfix has 2 connectors for Slack - **Slack **and **Slack V2**. Slack recently made changes to their authorization process and deprecated their previous module. However, the depricated version is still supported and is available to older users. We recommend using Slack V2 for your oauth setup in Pathfix.

Before proceeding, you will first need to register your application with Slack. 

Please note: You will need to create an account with Slack to access this.



## Add your App on Slack

- Go to the url [https://api.slack.com/apps](https://api.slack.com/apps)
