# Create a self-hosted Slack app

`POST /api/{org_id}/slack/installations`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.openobserve.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)

- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/openobserve/apis/openobserve-api-http/docs/api/:org_id/slack/installations/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)
