  • Have access to a Slack workspace with the ability to install and authorize third-party applications

  • Have identified the Slack channels where you want AWS DevOps Agent to send notifications

  2. Choose the Register button.

  3. You will be redirected to Slack to authorize the AWS DevOps Agent application for your workspace.

    1. Install directly to workspaces, not at the organization level.

    2. Choose a workspace from the dropdown. Do not select an Enterprise Grid.

    3. Install per workspace as needed for your organization.

  4. Review the requested scopes and click Allow to authorize the integration.

  5. After authorization, you'll return to the AWS DevOps Agent console.
