Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm trying to build tools to automate tasks in startups, many startups (almost all) use slack as their communication channel, so I would love to be able to authenticate and send messages in a slack organization.

Describe the solution you'd like

A guide so any can add their specific needed oauth provider would be probably enough

Describe alternatives you've considered

I wouldn't mind if you add slack as a provide, I do think many people would use it and it would add a lot of value.

Hey, you can use https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/generic-oauth to add a custom oauth provider. But we'll consider adding slack as a social provider!

I'm gonna close this. Feel free to re-open another issue for slack as a social provider request.
