Connect tools & automate tasks
Use apps and the Slack Marketplace
Add apps to your Slack workspace
Add apps to your Slack workspace
Add apps to your workspace to connect the tools and services that you use every day and get more work done right from Slack.
What to expect
By default, any member of a Slack workspace can install an app. Once an app is installed, all members of the workspace can connect their accounts to use it.
Workspace owners can
turn on app approval
to require admin approval for all apps. Members can install any apps approved by a workspace owner and may be able to request approval for other apps. If an app has been restricted, members cannot install it or request approval for it.
Apps that are published in the Slack Marketplace have been
reviewed by our team
for user experience and security. Any app not listed in the Slack Marketplace will display a banner letting you know that it hasn’t been reviewed by Slack before you install it.
Tip:
Visit our
Guide to apps in Slack
to learn more about apps.
Install an app
From your desktop, click
Tools
in the sidebar. If you can’t see this option, click
More
to find it.
Click
Apps
.
Search for an app, then click
Add
. You’ll be taken to the Slack Marketplace.
Click
Add to Slack
.
Follow the prompts to install the app. If the app is already installed, you’ll be prompted to connect your account instead.
Note:
If you can’t see the
Tools
tab in your sidebar, look for the
Automations
tab instead.
Request app approval
By default, members can request to install apps when app approval is turned on.
From your desktop, click
Tools
in the sidebar. If you can’t see this option, click
More
to find it.
Click
Apps
.
Search for the app that you’d like to request, then click
Add
. You’ll be taken to the Slack Marketplace.
Click
Add to Slack
.
Add a custom message with more context about your request. This step may be optional, or required by your workspace owners.
Click
Submit
to send your request. Once it’s been reviewed, you’ll get a notification from Slack.
Tip:
If you don't see the option to request apps,
ask a workspace owner for help
.
Update an app
Apps use sets of
permission scopes
to determine what information they can access in Slack and how they can use that information. When a developer changes how their app works, they often add or remove scopes. To access an app’s new functionality, you may need to grant permission for the new scopes by re-authorising the app's connection to Slack. How this works depends on whether or not app approval is turned on for your workspace.
Default
App approval required
Any member of a workspace can review and accept an app’s new scopes using an installation link provided by the app developer:
In most cases, members can access installation links by clicking on the
Add to Slack
button on an app’s page in the Slack Marketplace.
In other cases, an app’s developer may include an installation link in their app’s
Home
tab, or send a message letting their users know to update their app along with a link to do so.
Any member of a workspace can submit an app request using an installation link provided by the app developer:
In most cases, members can access installation links by clicking on the
Add to Slack
button on an app’s page in the Slack Marketplace.
In other cases, an app’s developer may include an installation link in their app’s
Home
tab, or send a message letting their users know to update their app along with a link to do so.
Once a workspace owner or app manager reviews and approves the app’s new scopes, any member can complete the app update using the installation link.
Reinstall an app
For added security, it’s a good idea to periodically rotate app tokens for custom or third-party apps. If you notice that an app token has been revoked, or if you’d like to rotate it, you can reinstall the app.
Head to the
Slack Marketplace
.
Click
Manage
in the top-right corner.
From the
Installed apps
page, search for and select an app.
For a custom app, click on
Remove app
at the bottom of the page. For a third-party app, click on the
Configuration
tab from the app page, then click on
Remove app
.
Complete the steps to reinstall the app.
Note:
If
app approval is enabled
, only workspace owners and members with permission to manage apps can reinstall a third-party app.
