Note: This article mentions legacy components, an older method of adding integrations to your workspace. For the newest platform features, like message buttons and the Events API, visit Building Slack apps.

API tokens can be created for both members and bot users. For added security, it’s a good idea to rotate these tokens periodically.

Create a new legacy token

Test tokens are just for you, so be sure to treat them as you would a password. Never share test tokens with other users or applications.

Re-issue a token

Note: You can only create and regenerate tokens for yourself. You're unable to create tokens for other members. 

Regenerate the token of a bot user

Note: Only the person who set up the bot can regenerate the token.

Re-issue an internal app token

1. Visit Your apps at api.slack.com/apps.
2. Click on an app. 
3. In the Install App section, click Reinstall App. Your new tokens will appear at the top of the page. 

Note: Only the app creator or collaborators can reinstall it to their workspace.

Re-issue an external app token

1. Visit an app’s page in the Slack App Directory.
2. Click Remove App at the bottom of the page.
3. Complete the steps to reinstall the app.  

Note: If the Approved Apps feature is turned on, only a Workspace Owner or a member who can manage apps can reinstall an external app.
