# Use Flows with Slack

Build a screen flow that’s designed to run in a Slack conversation or direct message group. Use another flow, a Slack shortcut, a slash command, or a button in a Slack view to run a flow from Slack.

- **[Adding Screen Components and Input Variables to Flows Deployed in Slack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_concepts_flows_in_slack.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Running a flow in Slack requires two things: an active screen flow with the Make available in Slack setting selected, and a way to run the flow from Slack.
- **[Create a Screen Flow to Run in Slack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_build_flow_slack.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create a screen flow to run in Slack using supported flow screen components and text input variables.
- **[Run Active Screen Flows from Slack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_build_run_screen_flow_from_slack.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can invoke an active screen flow using an action, a Slack shortcut in a custom Slack app, or a button in a Slack view.
