Slack

You can add identity verification to Slack using the Incode app for Slack. Once installed, employees and IT teams can request on-demand identity verification directly from Slack before sharing sensitive information, handling high-risk requests, or granting access to protected meetings.

Prerequisites

  • A Slack workspace where you have admin permissions to install apps
  • Access to the Integrations page in the Incode Dashboard. Contact your Incode Representative if you do not see the Integrations page.
  • Your Slack Team ID

What the Incode Slack App Does

The Incode app adds two slash commands to your Slack workspace:

  • /incode: Send an identity verification request to another Slack user. Both the sender and recipient can view verification results in real time.
  • /incode-meeting: Protect a Zoom meeting invite with identity verification. The recipient only receives the meeting link after passing verification. Requires a Zoom subscription.

Common use cases:

  • IT administrators verifying an employee's identity before handling an MFA reset or account lockout via Slack
  • Finance and sales teams protecting wire transfer requests, contracts, or invoices before sending to recipients
