# Approve or Reject a Request in Slack

If you’re an assigned approver, you can approve or reject a request from within a Slack workspace.

1. Under Apps in the Slack sidebar, click **Salesforce for Slack**.
2. On the Messages tab, view your approval requests.
3. Click **Approve** or **Reject**.

Slack updates the request message by replacing the Approve and Reject buttons with a confirmation message. Click **Show More** to see the request details.

For [multiple-step approvals](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.approvals_creating_approval_steps.htm&type=5&language=en_US), you can manually choose the next approver. When you approve the request in Salesforce, you’re prompted to select the next approver. If you approve the request in Slack, a message notifies you to log in to Salesforce to select the next approver.

Note An approver can also approve or reject a request from within Salesforce, which then posts a notification on the Salesforce for Slack app's Messages tab in Slack. When you click the Approve or Reject button on a request message, the message updates to inform you that another user already processed the request.
