Share or copy a workflow

Workflows let you automate almost any task or process right in your Slack workspace. You can share workflows with others, and make copies that you can re-use or customize for your own team.

Tip: To allow another person to make changes to a workflow you created, add them as a workflow manager.


Share a workflow

If you find a workflow other members of your workspace would benefit from using, follow the steps below to share it:

  1. From your desktop, hover over   More, then select   Automations.
    An image of a cursor over the More icon in the Slack desktop app.
  2. Click   Workflows.
  3. Search for and select a workflow, then click the   three dots icon.
  4. Select Forward workflow.
  5. Search for and select a channel or a person, then click Forward. If the workflow starts with a link, you can click Copy Link, then paste it in a message anywhere in Slack.


Copy a workflow

Rather than starting from scratch, you can make a copy of a workflow built by another member of your workspace and modify the steps to suit your needs.

  1. From your desktop, hover over   More, then select   Automations.
    An image of a cursor over the More icon in the Slack desktop app.
  2. Click   Workflows.
  3. Search for a workflow in the list, then click the   three dots icon.
  4. Select Duplicate workflow.
  5. Enter a new title for the workflow, then click Copy. The workflow will open in Workflow Builder.
  6. Click Finish Up, review the workflow details, then click Publish.

Note: If you don't see the option to copy a workflow, the creator may have restricted this permission.
