What this solves

Lynx Compliance - Slack Connector

Compliance evidence pulled from Slack via the Web API. Three resource types target the controls auditors examine on the collaboration / messaging surface:

  • Channels (CSF ID.AM-04, ISO A.5.7): workspace channel inventory. Auditors care about which channels exist and which are private.

  • Users (CSF PR.AA-01, ISO A.5.16): workspace user inventory with admin / owner / external-guest flags.

  • Audit log (CSF DE.CM-01, ISO A.8.16): Enterprise-Grid-only admin event log. Gracefully reports feature_available=False on lower Slack plans.

Authentication is a Bearer Slack token (xoxb- bot or xoxp- user token) with the appropriate scopes:

  • channels:read + groups:read (for channels resource)

  • users:read + users:read.email

  • auditlogs:read (Enterprise Grid only — for audit log)

Key Features

  • Slack connector type - Bearer token in credential_secret + optional config_json.endpoint for Enterprise Grid teams behind compliance-mode VPC peering.

  • Three resource pulls - channels, users, audit log (Enterprise Grid). Cursor-based pagination via response_metadata.next_cursor.

  • Pre-seeded collectors - three collectors covering ID.AM-04 (channel inventory), PR.AA-01 (user inventory), DE.CM-01 (Enterprise Grid audit log).

  • Audit-log graceful degradation - workspaces below Enterprise Grid don't have the audit-log API; the connector reports the feature as unavailable rather than erroring.

Integrates With

  • lynx_compliance_connectors - registers under the connector framework.

  • lynx_compliance_evidence_collectors - shipped collectors use the standard schedule.

  • Slack Web API via the requests HTTP client.
