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 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:

• What is a Slack workflow?
• Build a workflow

How do you build a workflow?

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).

Our Build a workflow tutorial is a great place to start, but if you’re looking for more detailed instructions, you’ll find them in Create a new workflow in Slack.

Tip: We offer several customisable templates you can use to quickly create workflows for common tasks, like collecting information or scheduling reminders.

Find workflows to use

Here's where to find workflows in Slack:
