Slack Plugin

A One-time Password (OTP), also known as a one-time PIN, is a password valid for only one login session or transaction, on a computer system or other digital device. Akeyless can be used as a Slack app to share OTP easily inside your Organization Slack account.

Configuration

Slack Slash Commands allows users to invoke the Akeyless app by typing a /akeyless in the message field. By enabling Slash Commands, the Akeyless app can be summoned by users from any conversation in Slack.

To Set the Slash command a workspace admin shall perform the following configuration:

Command - the name of the command, set to /akeyless

Request URL - the URL we'll send a payload to, when the command is invoked by a user. Set to https://sfs.akeyless-security.com

Short Description - exactly what it sounds like, a short description of what your command does, for example, Akeyless Secrets Management
