Help users discover what your app can do with Shortcuts.

Automate with workflows

Harness the power of apps, without the code.

Create simple interactions

Your app can respond to user activity, and buttons let users complete simple tasks (like requests and approvals).

Set up internal tools

Need a slash command or a bot just for your team? All our tools can be used for internal integrations.

Publish your app

Submit your app to the Slack App Directory, and reach millions of daily active Slack users.
