Auth
The Arcade AI Slack toolkit uses the Slack auth provider to connect to users' Slack accounts.
With the hosted Arcade AI Engine, there's nothing to configure. Your users will see Arcade AI (demo) as the name of the application that's requesting permission.
The hosted Arcade Engine is intended for demo and testing purposes only, not for production use. To use Arcade AI and Slack in production, you must use a self-hosted instance of the Arcade Engine.
With a self-hosted installation of Arcade AI, you need to configure the Slack auth provider with your own Slack app credentials.
