Slack Integration Setup Guide
Method 1: 1lookup Slack App (Recommended)
Install our official Slack app for the easiest setup with pre-built commands and notifications.
Step 1: Install from Slack App Directory
Search for "1lookup" in the Slack App Directory and install
Available Commands:
/validate-phone +1234567890
/validate-email john@example.com
/validate-contact +1234567890 john@example.com
/lookup-setup
/lookup-stats
/lookup-help
Step 2: Configure Notifications
Channel Setup
- • Create #data-quality channel
- • Add 1lookup bot to channels
- • Set notification preferences
- • Configure alert thresholds
Notification Types
- • Invalid contact alerts
- • Fraud detection warnings
- • Daily/weekly summaries
- • API usage notifications
Method 2: Custom Bot Integration
Build a custom Slack bot with our API for advanced automation and custom workflows.

Webhook Security & Verification
Secure webhook implementation with proper signature verification and error handling.
// Secure webhook implementation
const crypto = require('crypto');
const express = require('express');
// Verify Slack request signature
function verifySlackSignature(req, res, next) {
const slackSignature = req.headers['x-slack-signature'];
const timestamp = req.headers['x-slack-request-timestamp'];
const body = JSON.stringify(req.body);
// Check timestamp to prevent replay attacks
const time = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000);
if (Math.abs(time - timestamp) > 300) {
return res.status(400).send('Request too old');
}
// Verify signature
const expectedSignature = 'v0=' + crypto
.createHmac('sha256', process.env.SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET)
.update(`v0:${timestamp}:${body}`)
.digest('hex');
if (crypto.timingSafeEqual(
Buffer.from(expectedSignature),
Buffer.from(slackSignature)
)) {
next();
} else {
res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
}
}
// Webhook endpoint for 1lookup notifications
app.post('/webhook/slack-alerts', verifySlackSignature, async (req, res) => {
try {
const alertData = req.body;
// Route alert to appropriate channel
const channel = getChannelForAlert(alertData.type);
// Format message based on alert type
const message = formatAlertMessage(alertData);
// Send to Slack
await sendSlackAlert(channel, message);
res.status(200).json({ success: true });
} catch (error) {
console.error('Webhook error:', error);
res.status(500).json({ error: 'Processing failed' });
}
});
// Rate limiting for API endpoints
const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
const limiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
max: 100,
message: 'Too many requests'
});
app.use('/webhook', limiter);
Best Practices
Message Formatting & User Experience
Message Best Practices
- Clear status indicators: Use ✅ ❌ ⚠️ emojis for quick recognition
- Rich formatting: Use blocks, fields, and buttons for better UX
- Actionable alerts: Include buttons for immediate actions
- Context preservation: Include relevant details in thread replies
Channel Organization
- Dedicated channels: Separate alerts by type and urgency
- Thread organization: Use threads for detailed discussions
- Noise reduction: Use ephemeral messages for individual queries
- Archive strategy: Regular cleanup of resolved alerts
Performance & Scalability
Response Times
- • Slash commands: < 3 seconds
- • Webhooks: < 1 second
- • Interactive elements: < 2 seconds
Rate Limits
- • Commands: 1/second per user
- • API calls: 1000/minute
- • Webhooks: 100/minute
Caching Strategy
- • Results: 24 hours
- • User data: 1 hour
- • Stats: 15 minutes
Recommended Bot Permissions
OAuth Scopes: chat:write, commands, im:write, channels:read, users:read
Bot Events: app_home_opened, message.channels (for mentions)
Interactive Components: Enable for buttons, modals, and home tab
Slash Commands: /validate-phone, /validate-email, /lookup-stats
Troubleshooting
Common Issues & Solutions
Slash Commands Not Working
Commands return "dispatch_failed" or don't respond.
Solutions:
- • Verify bot token has correct scopes (commands, chat:write)
- • Check request URL is publicly accessible
- • Ensure 3-second response time limit is met
- • Verify SSL certificate is valid
Webhooks Not Delivering
1lookup alerts not appearing in Slack channels.
Solutions:
- • Verify webhook URL in 1lookup dashboard settings
- • Check bot is added to target channels
- • Ensure webhook endpoint returns 200 status
- • Verify Slack signature verification is working
Interactive Components Failing
Buttons and modals not responding to user interactions.
Solutions:
- • Enable Interactive Components in Slack app settings
- • Verify request URL for interactive components
- • Check action_id values match your handlers
- • Ensure proper acknowledgment (ack()) in handlers
Testing & Debugging
Debug Slash Commands
# Test webhook endpoint
curl -X POST https://your-app.com/slack/events \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Slack-Signature: v0=..." \
-d '{
"token": "verification_token",
"team_id": "T1234567890",
"command": "/validate-phone",
"text": "+1-555-123-4567",
"user_id": "U1234567890",
"channel_id": "C1234567890"
}'
# Expected response
{
"response_type": "in_channel",
"blocks": [...]
}
Debug Checklist
- Bot is installed in workspace
- Required OAuth scopes granted
- Webhook URLs are publicly accessible
- SSL certificates are valid
- API rate limits not exceeded
