# Adding custom Slack bots
DX allows sending Slack surveys through custom Slack bots. A DX workspace can have multiple Slack bots configured for different use cases (e.g., different types of surveys).

To add a custom Slack Bot in DX, you'll create a Slack App with our [manifest file](https://github.com/get-dx/platformx-examples/blob/master/slack-app-manifest.json), install the Slack App to your workspace, then enter the access token in DX.

## Setup instructions

1. Create a Slack App by visiting the [Slack Developer Portal](https://api.slack.com/apps). Select "From an app manifest."

2. Choose the Slack workspace that your DX account is connected to.

3. Copy and paste our [app manifest](https://github.com/get-dx/slack-app-manifest) JSON — this sets default information for your Slack App which you can change later.

4. Review the details and finish creating your app.

6. This will generate an OAuth Token which you can copy and paste into DX.
