The Connection Process
Regardless of which platform you choose, the process follows the same general steps:
Navigate to Integrations
In your OpsBrief dashboard, go to Settings → Integrations. You'll see all available platforms.
Click Connect
Click the "Connect" button next to your chosen platform. This starts the OAuth flow.
Authorize OpsBrief
You'll be redirected to your platform's authorization page. Review the permissions and click "Allow" or "Authorize".
Select Channels
Back in OpsBrief, go to Channels to see all available channels. Select which ones to monitor and configure event types.
Security & Permissions
Read-Only Access
OpsBrief only requests read-only permissions. We never post, modify, or delete anything in your channels. Learn more about our security practices.
What we access:
- Channel and message content (read-only)
- User names for attribution
- Channel list and metadata
Common Issues
Connection failed
Ensure you have permission to add apps to your workspace. For Slack and Discord, you may need admin approval. For Teams, Azure AD admin consent may be required.
Can't see all channels
OpsBrief can only access channels where it has been added. For private channels, you'll need to manually add the OpsBrief bot.
OAuth popup blocked
Check your browser's popup blocker settings. Allow popups from opsbrief.io and try again.
