Claim and verify domains for Slack Connect

Claim and verify your organisation’s email domains and set your workspace or Enterprise Grid organisation as the primary organisation for Slack Connect. Once claimed, these domains will appear as the only options for members to accept Slack Connect invitations. This ensures that members can only accept Slack Connect invitations from the workspaces that you manage.

  5. In the domain field, enter the domain (or wildcard domain) that you’d like to verify, then click Next.
  6. You'll need access to a domain name system (DNS) to confirm that the domain belongs to your organisation. Follow instructions provided by your domain hosting service to create a DNS TXT record (for Host, use @ if the domain is not a wildcard and _slack-challenge if it is). It may take up to 72 hours for changes to take effect.
  7. After confirming that your TXT record has been added to your DNS, return to Email domains on your Slack admin dashboard.
