Error Retool and Slack

Hello, we have a self-hosted Retool, we need to connect it with Slack and it doesn't give this error when trying to connect it:

Please specify client_id

Hey @Rodrigo_Carrizo :wave:

I wanted to check in from office hours and see how your team is doing since we talked last.

In summary for anyone visiting:
The client_id is required as part of authentication. We have some documentation about connecting to slack as a self hosted org if you haven't checked those out yet. According to the docs:

"Once you've created an OAuth app you can obtain its credentials, such as the Client ID and Client secret. You then provide these to configure Retool for OAuth authentication.
Refer to the Slack documentation for detailed instructions on creating an OAuth app."

This means the client_id is generated from the OAuth app. So you will need to generate that first to get the client_id!

Here's an example of a slack resource configuration, which can be found and configured from your app under the Resources tab!:

Let me know where you're at in this process now and if you hit any roadblocks!

The error was because we needed to enable https in our installation

So glad you found a solution. Thanks @Rodrigo_Carrizo.
