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. An image of a cursor over the More icon in the Slack desktop app.
  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.
