# Slack

You can add identity verification to Slack using the Incode app for Slack. After installing, employees and IT teams can request on-demand identity verification directly from Slack before sharing sensitive information, handling high-risk requests, or granting access to protected meetings.

***

## Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following before you begin:

- A Slack workspace where you have admin permissions to install apps.
- Access to the Integrations page in Dashboard. Contact your Incode Representative if you do not see it.
- Your Slack **Team ID.**

***

## Understand What the Incode Slack App Does

The Incode app adds two slash commands to your Slack workspace:

- `/incode`: Send an identity verification request to another Slack user. Both the sender and recipient can view verification results in real time.
- `/incode-meeting`: Protect a Zoom meeting invite with identity verification. The recipient only receives the meeting link after passing verification. Requires a Zoom subscription.

### **Common Use Cases**

- IT administrators verifying an employee's identity before handling an MFA reset or account lockout through Slack.
- Finance and sales teams protecting wire transfer requests, contracts, or invoices before sending to recipients.
