Build the future of work with the Slack platform
Develop flexible functionality on the next generation Slack platform
Assemble automations using modular, shareable, and remixable building blocks.
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 and apps.
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 start a workflow.
React to events in Slack, run on a schedule, or kick off from external services using webhooks.
Go from idea to deployment faster
Quickly build secure, scalable apps with our next generation developer tools.
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.
Quickly connect to other services
Message metadata
Tell Slack about events that are happening in your services by publishing messages with metadata. Then anyone can build workflows and apps with your service at the center.
Use metadata published by others to integrate your services with theirs in Slack. No complex APIs required—just simple, structured metadata.
