How Do I Change Slack's Authorization Type?

Last updated: November 13, 2026

Ambition's Slack connection cannot be switched from Public Access to Invite Only, or vice versa, while the current authorization remains active. You have to revoke the current authorization and re-authorize it with the new access type.

Required permissions:

  • The Integrations: Edit permission is required to reauthorize the Slack integration.

  • Permission to install apps in your Slack workspace is required to authorize Ambition again.

Revoke and Reauthorize Slack

  1. Navigate to Admin --> Data --> Integrations.

  2. On the Enabled tab, click on the Slack integration.

  3. In the side menu, click on Authorization.

  4. Click on Revoke Access. Both authorization types will appear again.

  5. Click on Authorize under the type you want. Slack will open.

  6. Click on Allow to finish.

Note:

  • If you switch from Public Access to Invite Only, then Ambition must be invited to all applicable private and public channels.

  • If you switch from Invite Only to Public Access, Workflows will continue firing to the original channels.
