Phase 2: Submit Credentials to Alibaba Cloud
Step 3: Copy App Credentials
The page redirects to "Basic Information" after creation.
Scroll to the "App Credentials" section

Copy these 4 credentials for use in later steps:
Credential Name | Format Example | Purpose |
Workspace Name | XXXXX | Organization Name |
App ID | A0XXXXXXXXX | Unique application identifier |
Client ID | XXXXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXX | OAuth login |
Client Secret | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | OAuth token exchange (please keep secure) |
Signing Secret | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | Webhook signature verification (please keep secure) |

Step 4: Obtain Bot Token
Click "OAuth & Permissions" in the left sidebar
In "OAuth Tokens", click "Install to AlibabaCloudEnterpriseSupport"

In the authorization popup, review permissions and click "Allow"

The page returns to "OAuth & Permissions" with the generated token displayed in "OAuth Tokens"
Find "Bot User OAuth Token" (format: xoxb-1234567890-1234567890123-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and click "Copy"
The Bot Token sends message notifications. Copy and store it securely.

Step 5: Submit Credentials to Alibaba Cloud
Go to [Alibaba Cloud Value-Added Service Desk - My Expert Service > Channel Management > Add Channel > Slack Channel] and enter all 6 credentials from Steps 3 and 4 in the popup.
Credential Name | Format Example | Purpose |
Workspace Name |
| Organization Name |
App ID |
| Unique application identifier |
Client ID |
| OAuth login |
Client Secret |
| OAuth token exchange |
Signing Secret |
| Webhook signature verification |
Bot User OAuth Token |
| Message notifications and homepage redirection |

Alibaba Cloud verifies the credentials after submission:
Verification Passed: Continue with Phase 3.
Verification Failed: Re-check all credentials from Steps 3 and 4, correct any errors, and resubmit.
Phase 3: Complete Integration Configuration
Step 6: Update OAuth Callback URL
Click "OAuth & Permissions" in the left sidebar
Scroll to the "Redirect URLs" section

Click "Edit" next to the existing URL
Replace the URL with the following (substitute {AppId} with your actual App ID):
https://ailink.gts.work/thirdparty/slack/{AppId}/oauth2/callback
Click "Done", then "Save URLs"

Step 7: Update Event Subscription URL
Click "Event Subscriptions" in the left sidebar
Find the "Request URL" field (warning messages at this point are normal)

Replace the URL with the following (substitute {AppId} with your actual App ID):
https://ailink.gts.work/thirdparty/slack/{AppId}/events
The system verifies the URL automatically. "Verified" indicates success. If verification fails, re-check the credentials submitted in Step 5
Click "Save Changes"

4. Verify Integration
After completing all steps, verify the integration:
Find the AlibabaCloudEnterpriseSupport app in Slack
Click the homepage button to open the Alibaba Cloud Enterprise Service portal
Sign in with your Slack account


Appendix: Guidelines for Ticket Submission
Select the Primary Service Group and click the [Create Ticket] plugin. Enter a summary of your issue. The system identifies the relevant product automatically, but you can also select the product category manually.

After clicking [Submit], the system generates a ticket and creates a dedicated ticket group. A technical support engineer is assigned to provide solutions.

The primary service group also provides:
[Enterprise Service Workstation]: Search historical tickets by chat logs, ticket IDs, or titles, and view past chat records.
[Group Member Management]: View members, edit nicknames, grant admin permissions, or click [Add people] to invite users.
If you cannot add members, contact your Alibaba Cloud TAM to request the "Group Administrator" role.
