Amazon Quick Suite Slack extension author guide

As an Amazon Quick Suite author, you can deploy Quick Suite Slack extensions after your admin establishes the foundational connection to your organization's Slack workspace. Your capabilities depend on the permission level granted by your administrator.

With limited permissions (view, share, delete only), you can manage basic extension operations through the landing page after admin completes all setup. With full permissions (deploy, view, share, delete, edit), you can complete the Slack OAuth application deployment, rename extensions, and access all editing features.

Author capabilities for Slack extensions:

  • Deploy extensions to your organization's Slack workspace using OAuth (requires full permissions).

  • Customize extension settings - names, descriptions (requires full permissions).

  • Manage sharing and access permissions (available with limited or full permissions).

Note

Before you deploy a Slack extension as an author, your Quick Suite admin must configure Amazon Quick Suite access to Slack.
