Slack enables all your tools to work better by letting you integrate software and custom apps right into Slack. Here are some popular categories and examples:
Project management: Connect Slack with project management tools such as Asana, Miro, Notion and Jira to update tasks, track progress and manage projects without leaving Slack.
Customer support: Integrate customer support apps such as Salesforce Service Cloud, Zendesk and Freshdesk to manage tickets and communicate with customers directly through Slack.
CRM systems: Link Slack with CRM platforms such as Salesforce Sales Cloud, HubSpot and ZoomInfo to access customer data and receive updates on leads and deals in your Slack channels.
File management: Enhance Slack with file management systems such as Box, Google Drive and Dropbox for easy access and sharing of files.
Developer tools: Connect developer tools such as GitHub, GitLab, PagerDuty and AWS Chatbot to collaborate on code, review pull requests and track issues directly from Slack.
These integrations help to make Slack a central hub for collaboration, communication and productivity by connecting it with the tools that teams use every day.
To install an app, first find it in the Slack Marketplace. From an app’s page, click the ‘Add to Slack’ button. Then follow the prompts to install the app or connect your account. You’ll see the option to connect your account after clicking ‘Add to Slack’ if an app has already been installed in your workspace. You can also find and install apps from your workspace. Click on ‘Apps’ in your left-hand sidebar and explore the directory from there. For more information on managing apps smartly and securely, take a look at this guide.
Managing Slack integrations is straightforward. Start by clicking on your workspace name to open the menu, then select ‘Settings & administration’, followed by ‘Manage apps’. This will take you to the Slack Marketplace, where you can browse and manage existing integrations. Here, you can add new apps by searching for them and selecting ‘Install’. For each installed app, you can configure settings and permissions, or remove the integration if it’s no longer needed. Regularly review your integrations to make sure that they’re still useful and meet your team’s current needs, keeping your Slack workspace efficient and clutter-free.
You can add up to ten apps to workspaces on the free version of Slack. If you’re on one of Slack’s paid subscriptions, you can install as many apps as you like – there’s no limit! Bear in mind that some app services require payment or for you to have a subscription to use their product before you can use it in Slack.
To explore Slack’s free and paid subscriptions, take a look at our pricing page.

Get started with building workflows right away with preconfigured templates. From kicking off projects in Asana to entering data in Google Sheets to quickly onboarding new team members with the right resources from Box, the possibilities are endless.
Note: Workflow Builder is only available on Slack’s paid subscriptions.
