Slack Apps

GitLab has chosen to restrict the ability to install apps, and we have a process to approve or restrict certain apps for our workspace. In order to integrate a new app with existing applications in our tech stack such as Google, Slack or Zoom you need to create a Third Party Risk Management issue.

Once the TPRM issue has been approved by all parties, please request approval to add the app to Slack following the steps below:

  1. Open a CorpSec Slack app request in our tracker to request integration.
  2. Within Slack, scroll to the “Apps” section. Click the “+ Add apps”.
  3. Search for the app that you would like to add, and click “Add”.
  4. A web browser will open. Please click on Add to Slack.
  5. Add a custom message with more context about your request and also link the TPRM approval issue+CorpSec issue.
  6. Click Submit. You’ll receive a direct message from Slackbot when your request has been reviewed by the team.
