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.

Automation Examples

Automated Lead Quality Alerts

Get instant Slack notifications when new leads are validated with poor contact quality.

Alert Triggers

Invalid Phone: Phone validation fails
Disposable Email: Temporary email detected
Fraud Risk: High-risk contact indicators
Batch Issues: High invalid rate in bulk uploads

Slack Notification Example

⚠️ Data Quality Alert
Lead: John Smith
Phone: +1-555-123-4567 ❌ Invalid
Email: temp@10minutemail.com ❌ Disposable
Review lead quality • View Dashboard

Team Validation Commands

Enable team members to validate contacts directly in Slack channels using slash commands.

# Quick validation commands
/validate-phone +1-555-123-4567
/validate-email john@example.com
/validate-contact +1-555-123-4567 john@example.com

# Batch validation
/validate-list @mention-file-with-contacts

# Team stats and usage
/lookup-stats team
/lookup-usage this-month
/lookup-help

# Example Slack response:
📞 Phone Validation Result for +1-555-123-4567
✅ Valid: Yes
📡 Carrier: Verizon Wireless  
📱 Type: Mobile
🌍 Country: United States
⚡ Response time: 127ms

Advanced Workflows

Multi-Channel Alert Routing

Route different types of validation alerts to specific Slack channels based on severity and team responsibility.

Channel Routing Logic

#sales-alerts: Invalid lead contacts, low-quality prospects
#data-quality: Batch validation results, data cleanup reports
#security: Fraud alerts, suspicious contact patterns
#dev-alerts: API errors, rate limit warnings

Alert Escalation

  • Level 1: Channel notification
  • Level 2: @team mention for urgent issues
  • Level 3: Direct message to managers
  • Level 4: PagerDuty integration for critical

Scheduled Data Quality Reports

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
