Several aspects of the Web API & Events API are retiring or changing on February 24, 2021.
Save time and automate repetitive tasks
Turn slow, repetitive, manual processes, like onboarding or gathering feedback, into rapid and automated apps and workflows. Use Bolt or Workflow Builder to quickly transform the way you work.
Nine Publishing used custom tools and apps to simplify newsroom processes and monitor performance analytics.
Your work just works, on any device
Block Kit lets you build UIs without a UI designer. It’s available for use in app surfaces across all devices without any extra code.
TD Ameritrade built a Slack app called BetterBot to source fast, automated answers to common questions.
Minimize multitasking
Reduce the amount of apps and websites needed to get work done. Bring data and tasks from external services and internal tools to where everyone is already collaborating: Slack.
Hearst used their HANS Bot to quickly surface data to decide which stories will perform best. HANS saved the team hours per day on searching for custom reports.
Built for Builders
To automate easily, no code required, try Workflow Builder. To tinker with advanced customizations, start quickly by using our Bolt framework. However you choose to build, you can make working in Slack simpler, pleasant, and more productive.
Latest from the changelog
The admin.analytics.getFile
method now returns daily data about conversations in public channels. Members analytics remain available. Explore what's happening on your grid workspaces.
Three deprecations take effect today, February 24. First, new apps may no longer pass tokens as query parameters. Second, Conversations API methods are now required over their typed counterparts: channel.*
, group.*
, im.*
, and mpim.*
. Third, event payloads no longer contain full lists of authed_users
or authed_teams
—instead, use a new method to learn the full list of authorizations an event is visible to. We know keeping up with best practices for Slack apps is a lot to handle—thank you for allowing us to make the platform better. Keep reading.
