Create and regenerate API tokens Note: This article mentions legacy components, an older method of adding integrations to your workspace. For the newest platform features, like message buttons and the Events API, visit Building Slack apps .
API tokens can be created for both members and bot users. For added security, it’s a good idea to rotate these tokens periodically.
Create a token
Test tokens are just for you, so be sure to treat them as you would a password. Never share tokens with other users or applications.
Members can only create and regenerate tokens for themselves, and not for other members. Here's how:
Note: API tester tokens are quite powerful and it is a best practice to revoke them if they are not being used. Slack will automatically revoke old tokens if they remain unused for long periods of time.
Regenerate custom integration bot user tokens
Visit the Legacy custom integrations page from your desktop at my.slack.com/apps/manage/custom-integrations .
Click Edit configuration next to the bot user you'd like to change.
On the configuration page, click Regenerate below the current token. This is the new token you can use anywhere you need it.
The person who set up the bot can regenerate the token using the instructions below:
Visit the App Directory at my.slack.com/apps/manage on your desktop.
Click Edit configuration next to the integration.
On the configuration page, click Regenerate below the current token. This is the new token you can use anywhere you need it.
Only the creator or collaborators can reinstall an app to their workspace. Here's how:
Visit Your apps at api.slack.com/apps .
Click on an app.
In the Install App section, click Reinstall App . Your new tokens will appear at the top of the page.
Visit an app’s page in the Slack App Directory .
Click Remove App at the bottom of the page.
Complete the steps to reinstall the app.
Note: If the Approved Apps feature is turned on, only a Workspace Owner or a member who can manage apps can reinstall an external app.
Who can use this feature?
All members, except guests (default)
Free , Standard , Plus , and Enterprise Grid plans
