2. Configure War Room
Ensure the app has been granted the AI SRE required permissions listed at the beginning of this page.After completing the previous steps, in the Flashduty On-call integration configuration page’s Enhanced Features section, check Enable War Room to activate this feature—no additional configuration needed.

In the Linked Users tab of the integration detail page, you can view the linking status between team members and Slack accounts, and quickly complete batch linking.View Linking Status
The linked users list shows all team members and their linking status. You can filter by:| Filter | Description |

| All | View all team members |
| Linked | View only members who have linked their Slack accounts |
| Unlinked | View only members who have not yet linked their Slack accounts |

When unlinked members exist, click the One-Click Link button. The system will attempt to obtain Slack account IDs via phone numbers or emails and automatically link them, equivalent to members logging into Flashduty using the same information on Slack.4. FAQ
War Room considerations?
War Room considerations?
- Only one IM integration can have War Room enabled at a time. If you have already enabled War Room in another IM integration (such as Dingtalk, Feishu/Lark, or WeCom), you need to disable it there first before enabling it in the current Slack integration
- When enabling War Room, the system automatically verifies whether the current Slack app has all required permissions. If missing permissions are detected, a warning message appears on the page with a Re-authorize link
- Click the Re-authorize link to be redirected to the Slack authorization page, which requests the AI SRE required permissions listed at the beginning of this page. After completing authorization, the page automatically returns to Flashduty
- If your Slack integration was authorized before the War Room feature was released, you will typically need to re-authorize on first use to add the new permissions. Re-authorization does not affect your existing integration configuration or user associations
