Considerations for Approvals in Slack

Keep these considerations in mind when working with approvals in Slack.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions where Advanced Approvals or Flow Approval Processes is enabled
  • Slack channel notifications for approval requests are only available in Advanced Approvals.
  • If an assigned group or queue has no active members, Slack notifications aren't sent for that step.
  • AI-generated summaries from Dynamic Approval Notifications are not included in channel posts.
  • When an approval work item is completed, you can't review again regardless of the channel used.
  • Delegates don’t receive approval notifications in Slack.
  • For Flow Approval Processes, Slack notifications for groups and queues are supported for up to 100 active members. If the group or queue exceeds this limit, no members receive a Slack notification for that step. This limit doesn't apply to unanimous group approval steps in Advanced Approvals.
