Summary

The upstream PR rearchitects the Slack agent install flow so that Slack consent runs first and the dashboard binds the workspace afterward. The change introduces two user-visible behaviors that previously weren't documented:

  • Reinstall refreshes the token in place. When you reinstall the Slack app into a workspace that's already connected to your organization, Mintlify silently refreshes the stored bot token without requiring a re-bind, so existing channels, threads, and per-user integrations stay intact.
  • One workspace, one organization. A Slack workspace can only be connected to a single Mintlify organization at a time. Attempting to install into a workspace that's already bound elsewhere now fails with a clear error.

Changes

  • Added a "Reconnect or reinstall the agent" subsection to agent/slack.mdx describing how reinstalls behave.
  • Added a Note callout under "Connect your Slack workspace" explaining the one-org constraint.
  • Lightly tightened the existing install steps to reflect the consent-first ordering.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes that clarify install/reconnect behavior; no runtime, security, or data-handling code is modified.

Overview
Updates the Slack agent setup docs to reflect the consent-first install flow: users now install/grant permissions in Slack and then confirm the workspace connection in the Mintlify dashboard.

Adds guidance that each Slack workspace can be connected to only one Mintlify organization (with the expected "wrong organization" failure case), and introduces a "Reconnect or reinstall" section explaining that reinstalling refreshes the stored bot token in place while preserving existing channels/threads and per-user integrations.
