Via Slack App Directory

1. While logged in to your Slack workspace, click on + Add apps under Apps in the panel.
2. Click on App Directory.
3. Search for Oneflow, click on the app, then click Add to Slack.
   Note:

   If Oneflow is not available in the Slack App Directory, contact your Slack workspace administrator and ask them to grant you permission to install apps in Slack.

4. Click on Allow when prompted to grant Slack the necessary permissions.
5. Click Proceed to Slack if prompted. This will install Oneflow as an app on your default Slack workspace.
6. If your Slack email address exists under an administrator account in Oneflow, and if your administrator has already connected the organization’s account to Slack, you will be authenticated automatically.
7. If your administrator has authenticated the organization’s Oneflow x Slack app, then you will receive a message from Oneflow (in the Slack app) stating “You’re all set!”. The authentication process is now complete.
   
   Note:

   If you encounter any issues during authentication, refer to our Troubleshooting guide. You may also contact your organization’s administrator and ask them to authenticate the organization’s Oneflow x Slack app to proceed.
