Integrations

define.wtf integrates with popular team communication, identity management, and automation platforms. This allows you to bring acronym lookup into your daily workflow, sync team identity automatically, and build custom workflows.

Integration Types

Communication Integrations

Slack

Bring define.wtf into Slack with the /define slash command. Team members can look up definitions without leaving Slack, and admins can manage workspace connection through a simple OAuth flow.

• No app account required for Slack users
• One-click OAuth setup

Identity & Authentication

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Setup time: 5 minutes

See: Slack Integration

Scenario 2: Enterprise SSO + Auto-Provisioning

Your team logs in with company credentials. New team members are automatically created when added to your IdP. Zero manual user management.

Setup time: 20-30 minutes (depending on IdP)

See: SSO + SCIM

Scenario 3: Custom Slack Bot

Tools: Webhooks + Slack App

Build a custom Slack bot that watches for new definitions in define.wtf and posts summaries to a #announcements channel. Or send weekly "new acronyms" digests.

Setup time: 1-2 hours (development)

See: Webhooks & Automations

Scenario 4: Activity Monitoring Dashboard

Tools: Webhooks + Spreadsheet or BI Tool

Send all define.wtf activity to a webhook, forward to Zapier or Make (integromat), and build a real-time dashboard showing which terms are most active, who's contributing, etc.

Setup time: 30 minutes with Zapier, hours with custom solution

See: Webhooks & Automations

Scenario 5: Data Export Pipeline

Tools: Webhooks + Custom App

Automatically sync your define.wtf dictionary to an internal wiki, knowledge base, or searchable database. Updates happen in real-time as definitions change.

Setup time: 2-4 hours (development)

Setup Guide by Role

I'm an End User

You likely don't need to set up integrations; your admins handle that. But here's what integrations might affect you:

• Slack — You might have access to /define in Slack (check with your admin)
• SSO — You might log in with company credentials instead of a separate password
• SCIM — Your account might have been created automatically when you were added to your company's directory

I'm an Admin

You manage integrations for your team. Start here:

1. Slack: Quick Setup Guide — 5 minutes
2. SSO: Setup Wizard Guide — 20 minutes
3. SCIM: Configuration Guide — 15 minutes
4. Webhooks: Setup and Testing — 30 minutes

I'm a Developer

You're building custom integrations. Check out:

• Webhooks Reference — Listen to all define.wtf events in real-time
• REST API — Query and manipulate define.wtf programmatically
• SCIM API — Build SCIM connectors for custom IdPs

Best Practices

• Start with SSO — If you're setting up multiple integrations, configure SSO first to streamline user access
• Add SCIM next — Once SSO is working, SCIM eliminates manual user management
• Slack for discovery — Enable Slack integration so your team discovers definitions in their daily workflow
• Webhooks for automation — Use webhooks to synchronize define.wtf with your other systems

Integration Permissions

Most integrations require admin-level permissions:
