Integrate Slack App with OptyStack

Learn how the Slack and Optystack integration simplifies SaaS management by providing real-time insights into workspace activity, license utilization, and subscription expenses. Organizations can identify unused accounts, optimize software spend, monitor user adoption trends, and improve governance across their collaboration ecosystem. With actionable recommendations and centralized visibility, Optystack helps teams get the most value from Slack while reducing unnecessary costs and improving operational efficiency.

Overview

OptyStack now allows administrators to discover the apps used by all the users across Organisation.

When you connect an application, OptyStack automatically retrieves user data, license details, and spend information to help you monitor utilization and reduce waste.

Only users with the Admin or Manager role can add or manage integrations. Users with the Read Only role can view data and reports but cannot make changes.

Go to https://hub.optystack.ai
Log in with your registered email and password.
After logging in, you will see your main dashboard with spend summaries, active tools, and recommendations.

4. From the sidebar menu, click on Applications to view the Slack application.

Step 2: Connect an Application.
