How connecting apps works
There are two honest ways Bob gets access to an app — nothing else. No hidden dashboards, no per-user config beyond signing in once.
1. One-click apps (120+)
For the apps marked One-click in the directory, Bob already has a managed OAuth app registered — there's nothing to configure.
In Slack, ask Bob to use the app — e.g. “connect Notion”.
Bob replies with a Connect button.
Click it and sign in to that app once, in your browser.
Back in Slack, tell Bob “retry” — it now has access.
2. Bring your own app (anything else)
For an app that isn't one-click, a workspace admin enables it once by registering Bob as an OAuth app inside it. This takes a couple of minutes and is a one-time setup for the whole workspace.
In that app's own developer console, create an OAuth app/client and copy its
Client IDandClient Secret.In app.heybob.ai → Settings → Integrations → Add an app, paste in the Client ID, Client Secret, and any optional scopes, then save.
Bob shows a redirect URI. Add that exact URI to the app's OAuth settings (usually an "Authorized redirect URIs" field).
Done — from here, anyone in the workspace connects it exactly like a one-click app: ask Bob, click Connect, sign in, say “retry”.
Don't see the app you need? Check the integrations directory to see whether it's already one-click, or has a native connector.
