Permissions (OAuth Scopes)

Omnibound requests only the minimum required permissions to ensure secure communication and insight generation: 

  • chat:write — to send direct messages and notifications in Slack 
  • channels:history or im:read — to read messages (only if the user enables Conversation Insights) 

 We do not request write access beyond notifications. 
 All permissions are used exclusively for insight generation and are fully secure. 
 You can revoke access at any time from your Slack workspace. 

 

Post-Authorization Behavior 

After successful authorization: 

  • Omnibound securely syncs approved Slack channels or DM data. 
  • Our AI models analyze team conversations to Marketing related insight. 
  • Above marketing related Insights are sent as Real-time notifications to marketers to make them quickly act on the insight. 

 

Where You Can View the Results 

After integration, Slack-sourced insights are available under AI Insights in Omnibound. The information from slack channels is analyzed by Omnibound and it is tagged for an insight like below (example) 

  • Category: e.g., Messaging & Positioning 
  • Insight: e.g., Market trend or emerging need identified 

For each insight, Omnibound collects information from different data sources like calls, CRM, emails, and slack is one of them. Users can click on an insight to view the specific Slack messages that triggered it, providing full context behind the finding. Based on the insight, users can take appropriate actions directly within Omnibound. Additionally, all insights are delivered as real-time notifications and direct messages in Slack, ensuring users never miss important updates or action items.

 

How to Disconnect or Revoke Access 

You can revoke Slack access at any time: 

From Notifications: 

  1. Go to Configuration Settings → Notifications → Slack 
  2. Click Disable to stop receiving Slack notifications.
 

For Data Source – Chat:
