# Slack integration errors

Troubleshooting errors for Slack integration include the following:

## DoControl can't be installed

The Slack App Directory includes a setting that allows installation of apps. If the setting is disabled, DoControl cannot be integrated with Slack.

#### **How to solve this issue**

1. In the Slack App Directory, login to <https://.slack.com/apps/manage/settings>

For more information, see Slack Workspace administration [online help](https://slack.com/help/articles/222386767-Manage-app-approval-for-your-workspace#h_01F29Z6B2ZN8PEXHG9N1GYDV6N).

## Slack re-integration permission error

After Slack was integrated with DoControl, the integration was removed. When the admin tries to reintegrate Slack, there's a permission error.

#### **How to solve this issue**

Most likely, the DoControl app is still active on the Slack workspace and must be removed before re-integrating.&#x20;

1. In Slack, go to **Workspace** settings.
2. Select the **Apps** tab and search for the DoControl app.
3. Click the DoControl app. At the bottom of the page, click **Remove app**.
4. Re-integrate DoControl again.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.docontrol.io/docontrol-user-guide/help/troubleshooting/integration-issues/slack-integration-errors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
