1. With the workflow builder, you can automate routine tasks on Slack such as welcome new teammates, run daily standups, make team-wide announcements, and so on. Not only do you save time but also stay focused with workflow automation.
2. For example, you might want to send time-off requests to your payroll software or simply record the time-offs on a Google sheet, which will be processed later. Admins can do so with AttendanceBot steps.
Here are the steps to follow:
- You can either open Slack’s workflow builder (under Tools in the workspace menu) or launch the workflow builder by clicking on the Shotcut lightning icon from any channel.
- You can either create a workflow from scratch or choose from the templates.
- Connect the apps that you'd like to automate to Slack.
- Next, the workflow builder will guide you through the process of selecting and creating a workflow that performs the intended task.
- Publish the workflow.
- Access the workflow from the Shotcut icon or the workflow option under Tools.
