# Integration for Slack

## Perform automated content classification on your Slack messages

### ![slack b2b](https://docs.mineos.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/slack%20b2b.png?width=670&height=419&name=slack%20b2b.png)

### What this integration does:

- The integration will add the MineOS App for Slack to your workspace.
- When connecting Slack to MineOS for data classification, the integration automatically adds the MineOS application (agent bot) to Slack channels and private groups where classification activity may occur. 
    - This behavior is required for the platform to properly scan and classify content.
    - It is expected and not indicative of suspicious activity.
    - The agent does not take any disruptive actions in channels, and access is limited strictly to classification purposes..
- Your messages will not be stored anywhere or shared with anyone.
- The app does not post messages or respond to comments.

**Please note**:   
To enable comprehensive scanning and data classification, the MineOS app will require authorization to access all public channels in your Slack workspace.   
As part of this process, the app will **join each public channel** in your workspace and appear as a channel member. This is essential to ensure complete visibility and accurate detection of sensitive information across your workspace.

**Before you start**

- Make sure your MineOS account has the data classification plan ([Our Pricing Plans)](https://business.saymine.com/plans)
- Make sure you have the required permission to install apps on Slack.
- \[Optional\] **Enable Preview mode** to view sample PII values alongside classification results. The sample values are stored encrypted and automatically deleted after 7 days. You must enable Preview mode before running the scan to see sample values. For more information about how to set up Preview mode go [here](https://docs.mineos.ai/knowledge/data-classification-preview-mode).

#### **Setting up**

1. Log in to your MineOS account, click Data Sources and search for **Slack**.   
   Click it to access the integration setup page.
2. Click "**Add**" to add it to your inventory systems.
3. Click **Connect** and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the authorization flow.
