Sending Approvals to Slack

Overview​

This article describes how to set up an Approval workflow in Netwrix Privilege Secure for Access Management in which a Slack channel receives an approval notification.

Instructions​

  1. In Slack, inspect the channel you want to message. The Integrations pane has a Send emails to this channel setting. Copy the email address.

  2. In Privilege Secure, go to the Users and Groups page. Click Add and create a new Local user.

    NOTE: This user does not need to log in to Privilege Secure.

  4. You can now add this local account as an additional approver in any approval workflow. It is not used for approvals, but its email address value allows the configured Slack channel to receive approval messages.
