๐Ÿ’ฌ Slack App Integration

Setup procedure for sending feedback to specific channels using Slack's Bot User feature. Unlike Discord, Slack requires a two-step process: "creating the app" and "adding to channel".

Getting OAuth Token and Channel IDโ€‹

First, create a dedicated app on the Slack API site.

  1. Navigate to App Creation Screen Access Slack API: Your Apps in browser and click the Create New App button.

  2. Select Manifest Mode Select From a manifest to simplify configuration.

  3. Select Workspace Select the workspace where you want to develop and install the app.

  4. Enter Manifest (YAML) Select the YAML tab and copy-paste the following code.

    Changing Settings

    To change the app name, edit name (internal name) and display_name (display name).

    _metadata:
      major_version: 1
      minor_version: 1
    display_information:
      name: logify-feedback
      description: Bot tokens created for this app can just post messages to channels they're invited to
      background_color: "#d982b5"
    features:
      bot_user:
        display_name: Feedback
        always_online: true
      app_home:
        home_tab_enabled: false
        messages_tab_enabled: false
    oauth_config:
      scopes:
        bot:
          - chat:write
          - files:write

  5. Confirm Permissions and Create Verify that Bot Scopes includes chat:write and files:write, then click Create.

Installing and Getting Tokenโ€‹

  1. Install to Workspace Open OAuth & Permissions in the left menu and click Install to [Workspace Name].

    When the permission request screen appears, select "Allow".

  2. Copy Bot User OAuth Token Copy the issued Bot User OAuth Token (string starting with xoxb-) and save it. This will be used later in Unity settings.

Channel Setupโ€‹

Bots can only post to channels they are invited to.

  1. Add App Open the Slack app, navigate to the channel where you want to receive feedback, and click the details icon in the upper right.

    Open the "Integrations" tab and click Add apps.

    Find and Add the app you created earlier (e.g., logify-feedback).

  2. Get Channel ID Copy the Channel ID (e.g., C12345678) at the bottom of the same channel details screen and save it.

Unity Setupโ€‹

Integrate the obtained "token" and "channel ID" into Logify-Unity.

1. Open Settingsโ€‹

Open the settings window from the menu bar Window > Logify-Unity > Settings.

2. Select Serviceโ€‹

In the Feedback Integration section, select Slack Feedback Service from the Feedback Service dropdown. Then click the Open button of Secret Generator to open the generation tool.

3. Secure Generationโ€‹

Enter the following information and click the Generate button.

  • Slack Token: Token starting with xoxb- saved earlier
  • Slack Channel: Channel ID saved earlier
About Security

Executing Generate automatically generates obfuscated C++ code and C# Bridge code. This significantly reduces the risk of directly extracting token information from the binary after build.

IL2CPP Build Recommended

To enable protection via C++ plugin, set Scripting Backend to [IL2CPP] in Unity's Build Settings before building.

  • iOS / Android (IL2CPP): Generated Native C++ Plugin is used, providing strong protection
  • Editor / Android (Mono): Automatically generated C# fallback code is used for compatibility

๐Ÿงช Testingโ€‹

Once setup is complete, test whether feedback is actually received.

  1. Run the app following Testing Procedure.
  2. Open the in-game Custom > Feedback tab, enter any message, and submit.
  3. Verify that the message with device information arrives in the designated Slack channel.

๐Ÿ“ฌ Reception Exampleโ€‹

๐Ÿ—„๏ธ Server-Side Integration (Optional)โ€‹

You're all set with the basic configuration!

If you plan to distribute your build to a wider group of testers, or if you require enhanced security and flexible notifications (such as email integration), consider using a dedicated backend server.
