Adding the Aikido Slackbot to a private channel

To add the Aikido Slackbot to a private channel, you first need to invite the bot to that channel. Otherwise you're not able to select that channel. (This is so for all Slackbots)

  1. Type "@Aikido Security" in the channel & send the message

  2. You'll get a popup asking if you'd like to add Aikido to the channel

  3. Click "Add to Channel"

Now you should be able to find your private channel in the app.

Next, go to Slack integration settings in the Aikido app.

  1. Enable the toggles for the types of notifications you'd like to get

  2. Select the channels you'd like the notifications to arrive in.

  3. Hit "Save"

Alternative method

Alternatively you can add the bot in the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the channel you'd like to add the Slackbot to

  2. Click the dropdown arrow

  3. Navigate to the "Integrations" tab

  4. Click "Add an App"

  5. Search for "Aikido Security" and click "Add"

Now you should be able to find your private channel in the app.
