+# Slack Bot Configuration Guide
+
+> **Note:** The following guidelines must be followed on the [Slack API website](https://api.slack.com/) for setting up your Slack app and generating the necessary tokens.
+
+## Step-by-Step Instructions
+
+### 1. Navigate to Your Apps
+- Go to the Slack API page for apps and select **Create an App** from the “From Scratch” option.
+
+### 2. App Creation
+- Name your app and choose the workspace where you wish to add the assistant. 
+
+### 3. Enabling Socket Mode
+- Navigate to **Settings > Socket Mode** and enable **Socket Mode**. 
+- This action will generate an App-level token. Select the `connections:write` scope and copy the App-level token for future use.
+
+### 4. Socket Naming
+- Assign a name to your socket as per your preference.
+
+### 5. Basic Information Setup
+- Go to **Basic Information** (under **Settings**) and configure the following:
+  - Assistant name
+  - App icon
+  - Background color 
+
+### 6. Bot Token and Permissions
+- In the **OAuth & Permissions** option found under the **Features** section, retrieve the Bot Token. Save it for future usage.
+- You will also need to add specific bot token scopes:
+  - `app_mentions:read`
+  - `assistant:write`
+  - `chat:write`
+  - `chat:write.public`
+  - `im:history`
+
+### 7. Enable Events
+- From **Event Subscriptions**, enable events and add the following Bot User events:
+  - `app_mention`
+  - `assistant_thread_context_changed`
+  - `assistant_thread_started`
+  - `message.im`
+
+### 8. Agent/Assistant Toggle
+- In the **Features > Agent & Assistants** section, toggle on the Agent or Assistant option. 
+- In the **Suggested Prompts** setting, leave it as `dynamic` (this is the default setting).
+
+---
+
+## Code-Side Configuration Guide
+
+This section focuses on generating and setting up the necessary tokens in the `.env` file, using the `.env-example` as a template.
+
+### Step 1: Generating Required Keys
+
+1. **SLACK_APP_TOKEN**
+   - Navigate to **Settings > Socket Mode** in the Slack API and enable **Socket Mode**.
+   - Copy the App-level token generated (usually starts with `xapp-`).
+
+2. **SLACK_BOT_TOKEN**
+   - Go to **OAuth & Permissions** (under the **Features** section in Slack API).
+   - Retrieve the **Bot Token** (starts with `xoxb-`).
+
+3. **DOCSGPT_API_KEY**
+   - Go to the **DocsGPT website**.
+   - Navigate to **Settings > Chatbots > Create New** to generate a DocsGPT API Key.
+   - Copy the generated key for use.
+
+### Step 2: Creating and Updating the `.env` File
+
+1. Create a new `.env` file in the root of your project (if it doesn’t already exist).
+2. Use the `.env-example` as a reference and update the file with the following keys and values:
+
+```bash
+# .env file
+SLACK_APP_TOKEN=xapp-your-generated-app-token
+SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-your-generated-bot-token
+DOCSGPT_API_KEY=your-docsgpt-generated-api-key
+```
+
+Replace the placeholder values with the actual tokens generated from the Slack API and DocsGPT as per the steps outlined above.
+
+---
+
+This concludes the guide for both setting up the Slack API and configuring the `.env` file on the code side.
