Unlock your productivity potential with Slack Platform
Save time with Slack's new modular automation tools
With our new modular foundation, automation is grounded in building blocks. They're remixable, reusable, and hook into everything flowing in and out of Slack.
Functions
Create modular functions that automate work in Slack and connect with your services.
Share your functions so anyone can add them to their own workflows.
Workflows
Workflows let you create complex and adaptable automations by building chains of functions.
Use your custom functions, pick from pre-defined Slack functions, or combine both to get the workflows you want.
Triggers
Add triggers to customize how and when to kick off a workflow.
React to events in Slack, run on a schedule, or trigger from external services using webhooks.
Deploy ideas faster
Our developer tools simplify the most tedious parts of development and ensure your automations are enterprise-grade from day one.
Slack CLI
Fast track development by creating, scaffolding, and deploying functions and apps from the command line.
Managed infrastructure
Deploy your automations to secure and managed Slack infrastructure, so you can focus on building.
Datastores
Streamline all your standard database operations by storing, querying and deleting data on Slack infrastructure.
App manifests
Save time when creating and configuring apps by using shareable and reusable manifest files.
Logging
Resolve issues faster by using function-level and app-level logging to debug.
Your work just works, on any device
Block Kit lets you build interfaces without a UI designer. It's available for use in surfaces across all devices without any extra code.
Be inspired
Get a fast start with samples and tutorials for common use cases.
Request Time Off
