# Considerations and Limitations

Apex SDK for Slack (Beta) was introduced in Winter '22 and has a number of limitations. These features aren't supported.

- Admin client access
- API Only users can't access the Salesforce UI
  - The Slack integration requires access to the UI in order to connect your Salesforce account. As a result, API only users can't connect to Slack.
- Enterprise installs
- Events for workflows
- Events for Real Time Messaging (RTM) API
- Field-level validation (only validation via input type is supported)
- Localization (see [localization limitations](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/salesforce-slack-sdk/localization.md))
- Private metadata on views
- Rich text fields (not formatted in Slack)
- Scope limitations during installation (see [scope limitations](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/salesforce-slack-sdk/guide/scopes.md))
- System-provided actions or data providers
- Web API methods (only methods discussed in [Apex](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/salesforce-slack-sdk/apex_ref/apex_ref.md) are supported)
  - `chat.unfurl`
  - `admin.*`
  - `files.remote.*`
  - `workflows.*`
