ChainPatrol Slack Bot
A Slack bot that can be used to submit scam reports to ChainPatrol
If you have a Slack workspace, you can use the ChainPatrol Slack Bot to let your workspace members submit scam reports to ChainPatrol. The bot will generate new reports that get sent to your admin dashboard for review.
Setup
Bot Installation
Go to the Admin Dashboard
Start by opening your dashboard on the ChainPatrol app.
Go to Organization Settings
In the navbar, select Settings to go to your Organization Settings page.
Go to Integrations Tab
Once you are in the organization settings, navigate to the Integrations tab. This section contains options for the Slack bot as well as other integrations.
Complete Slack OAuth
In the Integrations tab, you will find an option to Add to Slack. Click this button, then you will be redirected to the Slack authorization page. Click Allow.
Remember to select the correct workspace at the top right of the authorization page.
Important: Please avoid using organization-level installs for the ChainPatrol Slack Bot. Organization-level and enterprise installs can cause issues with the bot’s functionality and may not properly integrate with your ChainPatrol dashboard. Always use workspace-level installations to ensure proper operation.
Confirmation and Finalization
The ChainPatrol Slack Bot should appear in your listed apps along with other allowed workspace apps.
Adding ChainPatrol Bot To Your Reporting Channel
Remember to add the slack bot to the reporting channel! By default, the ChainPatrol bot does not automatically read and join existing channels for privacy.

Add ChainPatrol
Link Organization
This step needs to be done with help from ChainPatrol staff in order for the Slack Bot to work properly.
Please send ChainPatrol staff your workspace’s Slack Team ID so that we can finish the automated pipeline.
- Follow Slack’s documentation to locate your Team ID.
Slack refers to the Team ID as “workspace or org ID”.
https://app.slack.com/client/TXXXXXXX/CXXXXXXX
In the above URL, the Team ID is the slug that begins with T.
Usage
Once the bot is added to your workspace and you have sent ChainPatrol your Team ID, you can use the following actions:
Slash Commands
/chainpatrol <url>- Submit a scam report for the given URL

Threats Feed Configuration
In addition to submitting reports, the ChainPatrol Slack Bot can also send automated notifications about threats and reports to your Slack channels. This creates a real-time threats feed that keeps your team informed about security activity.
Setting Up Notification Settings
Create and Configure Notification Channel
Create a dedicated channel in your Slack workspace for receiving ChainPatrol threat notifications. This channel will serve as your organization’s security feed for real-time threat intelligence.
Important: You must add the ChainPatrol bot to this channel for notifications to work properly. The bot cannot automatically join channels for privacy and security reasons.
Provide Channel Information to ChainPatrol
Contact ChainPatrol staff with your notification channel’s Channel ID to complete the integration setup. The Channel ID is a unique identifier that begins with “C” and can be found in your channel’s details.
To find your Channel ID, right-click on the channel name and select “View channel details” or check the URL when viewing the channel in your browser.
Access Integration Settings
Navigate to your ChainPatrol dashboard and go to Settings > Integrations to configure your notification preferences.
Configure Notification Preferences
Within the Integrations tab, locate the Notification Settings section to customize which types of security alerts your team receives.
Select Notification Types
Choose which notifications you want to receive for your organization’s reports and monitored assets. Each option serves different security monitoring needs as detailed below.
Notification Options
New Reports for Blocked Assets
Receive notifications when new reports are created for assets that are already on your blocklist. This helps you track ongoing threats and see when community members are encountering known malicious content.
New Reports for Allowed Assets
Receive notifications when new reports are created for assets that are currently on your allowlist. This can help identify potential false positives or assets that may need review if they’re receiving multiple reports.
Assets Added to Blocklist
Receive notifications when assets are confirmed as threats and added to the blocklist. This is the most critical notification type - when you see this alert, it means ChainPatrol’s systems have confirmed a threat and are actively working to process it for takedown and blocklist distribution.
Recommended Configuration: We recommend enabling all three notification types for comprehensive threat monitoring. However, if you want to focus on the most critical alerts, option 3 (Assets Added to Blocklist) provides notifications specifically for confirmed threats rather than just reports.
Notification settings only take effect if you have Discord or Slack reporting feeds enabled through the bot integration.
Privacy
The bot does not collect any personal information. It only collects the URL and the Slack ID of the user that submitted the report (in case a moderator needs more information about why the URL is a scam). The bot does not store any sensitive information about the workspace it is added to.
