We tried to sign up for slack notifications from status.workos.com which is hosted by statuspage, and were turned off by the number of slack permissions it requests

Statuspage is requesting permission to access the Cradle Slack workspace

What will Statuspage be able to view?

Content and info about channels & conversations

View basic information about public channels in your workspace

View basic information about private channels that Statuspage has been added to

View messages and other content in direct messages that Statuspage has been added to

Content and info about your workspace

View the name, email domain, and icon for workspaces Statuspage is connected to

What will Statuspage be able to do?

Perform actions in channels & conversations

 

In contrast, adding a slack integration hosted by status.io (such as status.gitlab.com) only asks for scope `incoming-webhook` and has the user pick a channel with no other permissions required.
