When using Socket Mode, a Request URL is unneeded when using the Events API.
A favorite is the old standby app_mention event. Note: if your app is actively receiving events when you toggle Socket Mode on, you may lose events until you establish a connection to your WebSocket URL.Īt this point, you can subscribe to some events in the Event Subscriptions section of your app config. When you toggle Socket Mode on, you'll only receive events and interactive payloads over your WebSocket connections-not over HTTP. Socket Mode can be toggled on or off whenever you'd like. Toggle the Enable Socket Mode button to turn on receiving payloads via WebSockets. In your app config, navigate to the Socket Mode section. Other aspects of app setup are well-covered in our getting started guides, so head over there for more details if needed. If you'd like to distribute your Socket Mode app to your entire Enterprise Grid organization, you can make your app deployable org-wide. One thing to note: Socket Mode apps currently can't be listed in the Slack App Directory. If you don't have one already, you'll need to create a new Slack app:įill out your App Name and select the Development Workspace where you'll play around and build your app. You can still switch between a direct HTTP endpoint and Socket Mode at any time in the app config.Īpp setup for Socket Mode has only a few steps: creating an app, turning on Socket Mode, and generating an app-level token. The only difference is the communication protocol. In Socket Mode, your app still uses the very same Events API and interactive components of the Slack platform. It's created at runtime by calling the method, and it refreshes regularly.īecause the URL isn't static and is created at runtime, it allows for greater security in some cases, and it allows you to develop behind a firewall. Unlike a public HTTP endpoint, the WebSocket URL you listen to is not static. WebSockets use a bidirectional stateful protocol with low latency to communicate between two parties-in this case, Slack and your app.
Socket Mode allows your app to communicate with Slack via a WebSocket URL.
SLACK CONNECTIONS HOW TO
This guide walks you through what to expect from Socket Mode, how to setup your app to use Socket Mode, and how to use Bolt or the Slack SDKs to jumpstart your Socket Mode app with a minimum of fuss. Otherwise, you may have to migrate your classic Slack app to use granular permissions before turning on Socket Mode. If you created your app on or after December of 2019, good news: your app already uses the new permissions. Socket Mode is only available for apps using new, granular permissions.
