To create a Slack app named "Nullify" with the required scopes and webhook, follow these steps:

Method 1: Using App Manifest

You can create your Slack app using a JSON manifest, which simplifies the setup process by configuring all settings at once.

1. Visit https://api.slack.com/apps.

2. Click "Create New App".

3. Choose "From an app manifest".

4. Select your Workspace and click Next.

5. Paste the following JSON manifest in the editor (replace <your-org> with your organization name):

{
    "display_information": {
        "name": "Nullify Bot"
    },
    "features": {
        "bot_user": {
            "display_name": "Nullify Bot",
            "always_online": true
        }
    },
    "oauth_config": {
        "scopes": {
            "bot": [
                "channels:manage",
                "groups:write",
                "channels:join",
                "app_mentions:read",
                "channels:history",
                "channels:read",
                "chat:write",
                "dnd:read",
                "groups:read",
                "im:history",
                "im:write",
                "reactions:read",
                "users:read",
                "users:read.email",
                "reactions:write"
            ]
        }
    },
    "settings": {
        "event_subscriptions": {
            "request_url": "https://api.<your-org>.nullify.ai/core/slack/webhook",
            "bot_events": [
                "app_mention",
                "message.channels",
                "message.im",
                "reaction_added",
                "reaction_removed"
            ]
        },
        "org_deploy_enabled": false,
        "socket_mode_enabled": false,
        "token_rotation_enabled": false
    }
}

1. Click Next and then Create.

2. In the left sidebar, go to OAuth & Permissions.

3. Click Install to Workspace.

4. Authorize the app in your workspace.

5. Copy and store the Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-...).

Method 2: Manual Setup

Create the Slack App

1. Visit https://api.slack.com/apps.

2. Click "Create New App".

3. Choose "From scratch".

4. Enter App Name: Nullify

5. Select your Workspace and click Create App.

Add OAuth Scopes

1. In the left sidebar, go to OAuth & Permissions.

2. Under Scopes, add the following Bot Token Scopes:

   app_mentions:read
   channels:history
   channels:read
   chat:write
   dnd:read
   groups:read
   im:history
   im:write
   reactions:read
   reactions:write
   users:read
   users:read.email

3. Click Save Changes.

Enable Event Subscriptions

1. In the left sidebar, go to Event Subscriptions.

2. Toggle Enable Events to On.

3. Set Request URL to:

   https://api.your-org.nullify.ai/core/slack/webhook

   Slack will send a challenge payload to verify—ensure your server responds correctly.

4. Scroll to Subscribe to bot events, then add:

   app_mention
   message.channels
   message.im
   reaction_added
   reaction_removed

Install the App

1. In the left sidebar, go to OAuth & Permissions again.

2. Click Install to Workspace.

3. Authorize the app in your workspace.

4. Copy and store the Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-...).

Add a Bot User Display Name

1. In the left sidebar, go to App Home.

2. Set:

   • Display Name: Nullify

   • Default Username: nullify

3. Enable "Always Show My Bot as Online" if desired.

Upload the Slack API Key to Nullify

Once you’ve created the Slack app and copied the Bot User OAuth Token (xoxb-...):

1. Log in to the Nullify web application: https://app..nullify.ai/.

2. Navigate to: Dashboard → Configure → Connectors → Slack

3. Click Add Key (or Rotate Key if one already exists).

4. Paste your Slack API key (the value starting with xoxb-...) into the input field.

5. Click Save. The key will be securely transmitted over HTTPS and stored in AWS Parameter Store as a SecureString. It will never be shown back in plaintext — you will only see a redacted placeholder like ********.

6. Once saved, Nullify will verify the token with Slack and mark the connector as Enabled.
