Clay offers a "Send scheduled message to channel (minimal scopes)" Slack integration specifically designed for security-conscious teams. [1] This option requires fewer permissions than our standard Slack integration.
For additional security controls, you can:
Use OAuth 2.0 authentication with short-lived access tokens [2]
Request only the minimum necessary permissions (scopes) to reduce data exposure
Set up the integration through Settings > Connections where you have full control over which integrations to use [3]
We only integrate with GDPR compliant companies, and you can review any integration provider's individual privacy documents to ensure they meet your company's security standards. [4]
If you need help configuring the minimal scopes integration or want to discuss specific security requirements, click "Talk to a person" for human assistance.
