Remarks

Common troubleshooting scenarios:

  • I don't have a workspace ID.

    If you don't have a workspace ID, you must perform the initial authorization flow in the AWS Chatbot console. Then you will be able to copy and paste the workspace ID from the console. For more details, see steps 1-4 in Setting Up AWS Chatbot with Slack in the AWS Chatbot User Guide.

  • I have already done the initial authorization for my workspace. Do I need to do it again?

    No, you can use your existing workspace. You must log into the AWS Chatbot console to get the workspace ID.
