Integrating Slack to Send Slack Messages

Overview

This article describes how to set up a custom "Send Slack Message" action step in Netwrix Privilege Secure for Access Management, which you can then add to activities.

Instructions

Preparing Your Slack App

Create a custom Slack application for this integration.

1. In Slack, go to the Your Apps page: https://api.slack.com/apps/

2. Click Create New App.

3. Select From an app manifest and paste the following YAML into the provided field:

   display_information:
     name: NPS App
   settings:
     org_deploy_enabled: false
     socket_mode_enabled: false
     is_hosted: false
     token_rotation_enabled: false

4. On the Your Apps page, select Incoming Webhooks.

5. Under Activate Incoming Webhooks, click Add New Webhook to Workspace.

6. Search for the channel you want Privilege Secure to message. Click Allow. Copy the provided URL.

Importing the Action Step

1. Download the Send-SlackMessage.zip archive to the Privilege Secure server: https://dl.netwrix.com/additional/Send-SlackMessage.Addon.zip

2. Extract the archive, which contains a README file, an ActionTemplates directory, and an Install-Addon.ps1 script file. Right-click Install-Addon.ps1 and select Run with PowerShell.

3. When prompted, select Y to proceed.

   

4. The PowerShell window should quickly execute the script and close.

5. Log in to the Privilege Secure console. If Privilege Secure was already open, refresh the console.

6. In Privilege Secure, go to Activities, select an Activity, and click the green plus sign in either the Pre-Session or Post-Session. The Send Message to Slack activity step is now available.

7. Provide the URL from step 6 of Preparing Your Slack App when configuring the action step.
