Note You don't need to be an admin to have the Manage Flow permission. Ask your admin to add it to your profile or permission set.

We recommend that you create and test flows in a sandbox before deploying them in production.

1. Create a screen flow and add a Screen element to it.
2. Click **Save**.
3. In the Save the flow dialog box, fill in the fields, and then click **Advanced**.
4. Select **Make Available in Slack** and save the flow.
    
    The Screen element window displays only the screen components that can run in Slack.
5. Build your flow.
    
    Flows in Slack don’t support field-level validation for screen components.
6. If you want the flow to be passed input when it’s run, add text variables that are available for input.
    
    Flows in Slack support only text variables as input parameters.
7. Save and test your flow.
8. Activate the flow.
