# Slack
## What's Supported
### Supported Actions
This connector supports:
* [Proxy Actions](/proxy-actions), using the base URL `https://slack.com/api`.
### Example integration
To define an integration for Slack, create a manifest file that looks like this:
```YAML theme={null}
# amp.yaml
specVersion: 1.0.0
integrations:
- name: slack-integration
displayName: My Slack Integration
provider: slack
proxy:
enabled: true
```
## Before You Get Started
To connect Slack with Ampersand, you will need [a Slack Developer Account](https://api.slack.com/developer-program/join).
Once your account is created, you'll need to create an app in Slack, configure the Ampersand redirect URI within the app, and obtain the following credentials from your app:
* Client ID
* Client Secret
* Scopes
You will then use these credentials to connect your application to Ampersand.
### Create a Slack Account
Here's how you can sign up for a Slack account:
* Go to the [Slack Sign Up page](https://api.slack.com/developer-program/join).
* Sign up using your preferred method and verify your email.

1. Log in to your [Slack Developer](https://slack.com/signin) account.
2. Click **Your Apps**.
