Share or copy a workflow

Who can use this feature?

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.
