# Create a Slack Application

To index content from Slack, you must create a Slack application to represent the connector.

To create a Slack application to represent the connector

- Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and create an application.

  NOTE:

  When you create the application, ensure that the Redirect URL matches the location where you will run the OAuth configuration tool, for example `http://localhost:7878/`, as specified by the `RedirectURL` parameter in the OAuth tool configuration file `oauth_tool.cfg`.

After you create the application, Slack will provide an application key (or client ID), and an application secret (or client secret). You will need this information when you configure OAuth authentication.
