Installing the TDX Slack integration

Follow these steps in order to install the TeamDynamix integration in Slack:

   2. Navigate to TDAdmin > Organization Settings > Integrations and click +New.
   3. Set the following values: 
      1. Integration Type: Slack
      2. Name: provide a name for the Slack environment. TeamDynamix can connect to multiple Slack environments by setting up multiple Integrations records. 
      3. Description: optionally provide a description
      4. Is Active: checked
   4. Save. 
2. Add the integration to Slack
   1. From the detail page of the Integration record added above, click Add to Slack.
   2. On the Slack verification page that displays, click Allow. 
      

The Slack integration is now configured and should be automatically registered. After these steps are completed successfully, the Status command (see below) should indicate that the Integration State for the Organization is "Registered" and the Integration State for the user is "Not Registered". Follow the instructions in the Using TeamDynamix with Slack article to register your user for the first time.
