Install the SDK
Section titled “Install the SDK”
- Node.js
- Python
Terminal window
1 npm install @scalekit-sdk/node
Terminal window
1 pip install scalekit
Full SDK reference: Node.js | Python
Set your credentials
Section titled “Set your credentials”

Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.
.env
```
SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
```
Set up the connector
Section titled “Set up the connector”

Register your Slack credentials with Scalekit so it handles the token lifecycle. You do this once per environment.
Dashboard setup steps
Register your Scalekit environment with the Slack connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:
1. Set up auth redirects
  - In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection. Find Slack and click Create. Copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.
  - Log in to api.slack.com/apps and click Create New App.
  - Select From scratch, enter an app name, and select your workspace.
  - Go to OAuth & Permissions and scroll to Redirect URLs.
  - Click Add New Redirect URL and paste the redirect URI from Scalekit. Click Add.
2. Enable distribution
  - In your Slack app settings, go to Manage Distribution.
  - Under Share Your App with Other Workspaces, complete the checklist Slack shows for your app. This can include accepting Slack’s distribution agreement, adding support and privacy URLs, and confirming that the redirect URL you added above is valid.
  - Click Activate Public Distribution.
    
    Slack app distribution must be active before users can authorize the app from external workspaces. If distribution is not active, OAuth can succeed in your development workspace but fail when a user tries to connect a second workspace.
  - From Basic Information, copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
3. Add credentials in Scalekit
  - In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections and open the connection you created.
  Choose Bot scope for most agents, including agents that read channel history or send messages as your Slack app. Bot scope makes the agent act as the Slack app or bot; use User scope only when the agent must act as the authorizing Slack user.
  - Enter your credentials:
    - Client ID
    - Client Secret
    - Permissions (scopes — see Slack Scopes documentation)
  - Click Save.
