Environment
U-M Slack, Workflow Builder
Issue
Can I add a workflow to my U-M Slack workspace or channel? Is Workflow Builder available?
Resolution
- Workflows are supported for U-M Slack. At this time, only Workspace Admins can use Workflow Builder to create workflows in their Slack workspaces or channels.
- If you want to create a workflow for your workspace but can't, reach out to a Workspace Admin and ask them to make you a Workspace Admin.
- Workspace Admins can assign a member the Workflow Manager role to grant them access to create workflows in their workspace, provided the member is an admin of a workspace.
- You can find your workflows under the Agents & tools tab in the left-side panel of your desktop app.
- Refer to the Slack Help Center: Guide to Slack Workflow Builder for instructions and more information.
- Any third-party app added to a workflow is automatically approved despite the need to "request" it. As a reminder, while third-party apps are available to add to workflows and Slack in general, ITS does not provide technical support for third-party apps or the third-party services with which they integrate. (Refer to Add-ins, Add-ons & Apps for Collaboration Services for more information.)
Additional Information
Legacy workflows were migrated to the new Workflow Builder environment in March 2024. You can no longer create legacy workflows in U-M Slack.
