Adding the YeshID Slack Bot

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Connecting the YeshID bot to Slack lets your team submit and respond to access requests, and get task notifications, right inside Slack — including the /request command. It takes two steps: connect Slack, then add YeshID as a notification destination.

Step 1: Connect Slack (prerequisite)

If Slack isn't connected yet:

  1. In YeshID, go to Access > Applications.

  2. Click Slack, then Connect.

  3. Click Authenticate and pick the correct Slack workspace.

  4. Click Allow to grant access.

If you're logged into multiple Slack workspaces in this browser, double-check you're authorizing the right one.

Step 2: Add YeshID as a notification destination

This is the step that turns on the bot for access requests.

  1. Go to Settings > Notifications.

  2. Click Add to Slack.

  3. Pick your Slack workspace and click Allow.

Once connected, YeshID will:

  • DM task assignees when they have a relevant notification (like a workflow task or an approval).

  • Let users submit and respond to access requests in Slack — including typing /request to ask for an app.

Step 3 (optional): Add a shared notifications channel

To send notifications to a shared channel instead of only DMs:

  1. In Slack, add the @yeshid bot to the channel you want (type @yeshid in the channel and choose Add to Channel, then confirm).

  2. Back in YeshID, pick your newly added channel under the notification settings.

That's it

Your team can now type /request in Slack to request access to an application, and approvers can approve or deny right from Slack. For the full request-and-approval flow, see Access Requests with YeshID.
