What you'll need
- An active Slack account with permission to install apps
- An active Telnyx account with repository access
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Slack
Click "Add Connection" and select Slack from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Slack's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.

- Step 06
Test and activate
