Workflow Builder offers a set of tools to help you automate routine tasks and processes in Slack. Workflows can be as simple or as complex as you’d like, and can even be connected to other apps and tools you use to get work done.
What is a workflow?
A workflow makes everyday tasks in Slack easier for you and your team. If you’re new to workflows, we recommend checking out our tutorials:
No matter what they need to do, workflows have two main components: a trigger (how the workflow will start), and steps (the actions you want the workflow to take).
Tip: We offer several customizable templates you can use to quickly create workflows for common tasks, like collecting information or scheduling reminders.
