Slack Workflows API

Slack's Workflows API lets you automate work inside Slack by defining workflowsordered steps or functionsthat run in response to triggers like shortcuts, messages, schedules, link clicks, or webhooks. Developers can build Slacknative steps, collect inputs with forms, post messages, route approvals, and call external services, then programmatically create and manage triggers and runs. On Slack's latest platform, you compose workflows from reusable functions, persist data in datastores, and run code on Slack's infrastructure; on classic Workflow Builder, you can add custom steps and report completion or failure via API. The result is secure, auditable, Slackintegrated automation for tasks such as onboarding, incident response, requests, and notifications without standing up a separate backend.
