Previously in SaaS Management, insight into user activity within Slack (for Enterprise Grid) was limited to user logins. Through a new API, SaaS Management pulls in the analytics data for when Slack users were last active posting a message or reading at least one Slack channel or direct message. Software Asset Managers now have the required insights for tracking interactive user activity within Slack and enabling accurate right-sizing decisions.

Actions Required for Existing SaaS Management Integrations with Slack (for Enterprise Grid)
You must reauthorize the integration using the new admin.analytics:read scope, which replaced the auditlogs:read scope. The admin.analytics:read scope is required to view analytics information about members of enterprise grid workspaces. For details, refer to Slack's admin.analytics:read documentation.
Org owner permission is required to grant Slack (for Enterprise Grid) scopes during the Integration authorize flow documented in the Slack (for Enterprise Grid) integration instructions. The app requesting this scope must be installed by an Org Owner of an Enterprise Grid organization. In addition, the app must be installed on the entire org, not on an individual workspace. For details, refer to Slack’s admin.analytics:read documentation.
