Create Slack application to check if given url is malicious through UrlScan.io

This document will guide you step-by-step on how to create a Slack app for URL scanning using the RapidForge platform. We will use Slack and UrlScan.io to scan URLs and provide real-time feedback on the scanned links.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following:

• A Slack account
• Account from urlscan.io

Setting up a Slack OAuth app

1. Visit the Slack API documentation and follow the instructions to create a new OAuth app.
2. Once the app is created, copy the OAuth credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) and save them for later use.

Setting up urlscan.io

1. Visit the urlscan.io website and sign up for a free account.
2. Once you've signed up, create a new API key and save it for later use.

Saving the credentials

Now that we have all the necessary credentials, we can save them in RapidForge. Open RapidForge and navigate to the Credentials section. Click on the Create New Credential button and select OAuth.

Fill in the following fields:

• Name: Slack
• Client ID: Paste the Client ID from your Slack OAuth app
• Client Secret: Paste the Client Secret from your Slack OAuth app
• Token URL: https://slack.com/api/oauth.v2.access
• Authorization URL: https://slack.com/oauth/v2/authorize
• Redirect URL: https://rapidforge.io/oauth/callback (your instance URL)

Click on the Save button to save the credentials.

Saving the UrlScan.io credentials

Next, we need to save the credentials for UrlScan.io. Open RapidForge and navigate to the Credentials section. Click on the Create New Credential button and select Text.

Fill in the following fields:

• Name: UrlScan
• Text: Paste the API key from your urlscan.io account

Click on the Save button to save the credentials.
