Slack to Oomnitza mappings

Prerequisites

Before you create the user integration, you need to have added your Slack API credentials to Oomnitza. This integration uses the team.accessLogs API. The following scope is required: admin. 

You must have the Slack user integration set up and running in your Oomnitza instance and the custom field Slack User Id created as described in custom mappings. This field will be used to sync user data obtained using the user integration with the last login integration.

Creating the last login user integration

You should know
If you select Update only from the Integration preferences list, you will see lots of skipped records and no added records in the integration log. This is expected. 
When entering the Integration details, make sure that you supply the Maximum number of pages to load from the API. The number should be between 1 and 999. We recommend that this value should be set to no greater than 3 times your employee count.

1. In Oomnitza, click Configuration > Integrations > Overview.
2. Click Block view .
3. On the Integrations page, scroll down to the Extended section for user integrations.
4. Click NEW INTEGRATION.
5. In the sidebar, search for the integration.
6. Click ADD.

Integration details overview

More information is provided about the following fields to help you complete the integration:

• User only. Add user records.
• User plus SaaS user. Add user and SaaS user records. 

The benefit of adding SaaS user records is that you can run a workflow to validate the status and activity of SaaS users and retrieve information such as the role of the SaaS user. The information that can be retrieved depends on whether SaaS user workflows are available for the integration. 

Installation types

• Cloud. Store credentials in the Oomnitza cloud.
• Local. Store credentials locally. If you want to sync Oomnitza with vendor applications that require AWS or OAUTH authentication, select cloud as the type of installation. Local installations don't support AWS and OAuth authentication. 

Integration preferences

• Create & Update. Add and update records.
• Create only. Add records.
• Update only. Update records.

Creating custom mappings for the last login user integration

Map the Slack fields to Oomnitza fields and create custom mappings to get the user information that you need.

Complete these actions:

1. Click Smart Mapping to automatically detect appropriate mapping fields. Values from the integration can also be dragged to the appropriate field on the Oomnitza side, or selected from the integration field dropdown.
2. You must create a custom mapping for the Slack Last Used field. To do this, complete these steps:
   1. Click the down arrow on the Last Used field.
   2. Select Add new Oomnitza users field.
   3. Change the name of the new field to Slack Last Login. In the Data Type dropdown, select DateTime.

3. Create custom mappings to map any other field that you want to add to Oomnitza.
4. Map the User Id field to the custom Slack User Id field you created when Creating custom mappings for the user integration and assign a sync key. This means that the last login integration will sync with the user integration.
5. Ensure that the Username is mapped to the Username field on the Oomnitza side (required for integration).
6. Ensure that the Email field is mapped on the Oomnitza side (required for integration).
7. Select the Role field on the Oomnitza mapping side.
8. Choose a suitable role from the list (a defined role is necessary for the integration)
