Build a workflow: Request connector steps

When building a workflow in Slack, you can add a connector step so that your workflow can take actions in other services (such as sending information to a Google spreadsheet). If your workspace or Enterprise Grid organisation requires app approval, or if the steps require additional configuration, you’ll need to send a request to your admins before you can add these steps to your workflows.

Submit an approval request

1. From your desktop, hover over   More, then click  Automations.
2. Click on   New workflow. To request a connector step for an existing workflow, click on   Managed by you, then select a workflow.
3. Below Steps, find or search for the name of the third-party service you'd like to add a connector step for.
4. Click Request. You’ll receive a direct message (DM) from Slackbot when your request has been reviewed.

Submit a configuration request

If the connector step that you'd like to add requires additional configuration, you'll see an alert when selecting its step.

1. From your desktop, hover over   More, then click  Automations.
2. Click on   New workflow. To request a configuration for an existing workflow, click on   Managed by you, then select a workflow.
3. Below Steps, find or search for the name of the third-party service you'd like to add a connector step for.
4. Click Request help from an admin to request the required configuration.
