Logging into the Slack workspace to integrate with your Now Virtual Agent requires you to accept the requested permissions to access the workspace.

    Note:

    Starting from Utah release, if your Slack workspace is already associated with another ServiceNow instance, but if you intend to associate it with a new instance, then you're asked to reach out to the administrator to first uninstall it from the previously associated instance. For more information, see Override Slack integration.
