In connected app Oauth usage there can be multiple Slack-related connected apps present in a Salesforce org, but often check only the ones visibly named "Slack" or "Slack Auth" and find them unblocked — but miss a third app further down the list on the Connected Apps OAuth Usage page.
The three apps to be checked in case:
| App Name | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slack (legacy) | Old AppExchange-based Slack app (~6–8 years old) | Still present in many orgs; not used by modern integrations |
| Slack (modern) | Newer Slack integration / Slack AI | This is the one that gets blocked |
| SlackForce Auth | Auth layer for modern Slack integrations | Also required; must be unblocked |
When the modern Slack connected app is blocked either intentionally by an admin tightening security or inadvertently the integration fails with the app_blocked error. Because there are two apps named "Slack".
Step 1 — Unblock the Slack connected app in Salesforce
/lightning/setup/ConnectedAppsUsage/home)Step 2 — Sync Users from Slack Admin
After unblocking, users who previously failed auth will remain in a failed state until a sync is performed:
This resets all auth-failed states for all users in the org. Auto-auth will then re-map users successfully and the error message will be cleared.
Note: There might be multiple slack apps which can be accessed by clicking on More/Next page on Connected Apps OAuth Usage and navigated to the next page.
