Aruba UXI Customer Experience

We offer two forms of Slack application testing. The basic test doesn't require any extra information from you; the Cape sensor will test accessibility and timing to the public Slack API.

The real time messaging (RTM) API test will give you a better idea of what performance users can expect from Slack, but this requires a user or bot token to be generated.

The steps to generate a bot token are as follows:

Browse to <a href="https://api.slack.com/apps" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://api.slack.com/apps</a>

Click on <code>Create New App</code> button

For <code>App Name</code>  insert the name of your new app (e.g. 'Cape sensor app')

For <code>Development Slack Workspace</code>  select the workspace that you want to generate the token for (i.e. the one that will be tested)

Click the <code>Create App</code>  button

In the new window, click on the <code>Bots</code>  pane under the <code>Add features and functionality</code>  section

And then click on the <code>Add a Bot User</code>  button

You can change the display name and default username here

Click on the <code>Add Bot User</code> button

Click on <code>Install App</code>  link on the navigation on the left

Click on the <code>Install App to Workspace</code>  button then click <code>Authorize</code>  button

The tokens will be generated and you can copy the <code>Bot User OAuth Access Token</code>  and use it to set up a new Slack RTM API test on the dashboard.
