SlackConfiguration

Provides the configuration information to connect to Slack as your data source.

Note

Amazon Kendra now supports an upgraded Slack connector.

You must now use the TemplateConfiguration object instead of the SlackConfiguration object to configure your connector.

Connectors configured using the older console and API architecture will continue to function as configured. However, you won’t be able to edit or update them. If you want to edit or update your connector configuration, you must create a new connector.

We recommended migrating your connector workflow to the upgraded version. Support for connectors configured using the older architecture is scheduled to end by June 2024.
