Build a workflow: Request connector steps

When building a workflow in Slack, you may want to add a connector step so your workflow can take actions in other services (like sending information to a Google spreadsheet). If your workspace or Enterprise Grid organization 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. An image of a cursor over the More icon in the Slack desktop app.
  2. Select  Workflow Builder from the list, then click Create Workflow or choose an existing 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 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. An image of a cursor over the More icon in the Slack desktop app.
  2. Select  Workflow Builder from the list, then click Create Workflow or choose an existing 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.
