## Integration Guide

{% hint style="info" %}
Woven currently only supports Slack. If your company uses Microsoft Teams, please reach out to let us know it's something you need: <hello@woven.dev>
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Your Slack account needs to be setup to allow Apps. You can confirm this by looking for an “Apps” link in the top section of the left sidebar in Slack (you may need to click “More” to see it)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
You may need inputs and approval from an administrator of your Slack workspace to install and configure the Woven Slack App. Many organizations make this a required step for new Slack Apps
{% endhint %}

To integrate Slack and Woven, follow these steps.

### Install the Woven Slack App

This step makes the Woven Slack App available to Slack users in your organization. You can choose to make it available by default, such that all users in your organization can use Woven, or you can make it available only to yourself. To install the Woven App:

1. Go to [app.woven.dev/slack](https://app.woven.dev/slack)
2. On the left of the page, Click the **“Add to Slack”** button. There are two situations in which you will not see an “Add to Slack” button:
   * If you see **“Request Confirmation”** button, then you need approval from the workspace admin — these instructions can be found in [the following sub-section](#optional-request-permission-from-your-slack-admin)
   * If you see a **“Connect Account”** button, then the Woven App is already installed in your Slack workspace, and you can simply connect your account instead
3. Follow the prompts to finish installing the Woven App. You should now see "Woven" appear in the list of Apps in your Slack application.

#### **(Optional) Request permission from your Slack admin**

If you are not a workspace administrator in Slack, you will be prompted to request permission to install. To request permission to install the integration:

1. Under *Add a message for your App Managers* enter an explanation for installing the app
2. At the bottom of the form, click the **Submit** button
3. Contact your Slack workspace administrator and ask them to approve the Woven app
4. Once approved, you'll get an alert in Slack from Slackbot
5. Once you receive the Slackbot alert, return to the Woven App at [app.woven.dev](https://app.woven.dev)

Give Woven a home on Slack as part of onboarding your team.

1. Navigate to the Slack Channel where you want to add Woven (or create a new one!)
2. Invite Woven in by tagging `@woven` or using the Slack command `/invite` (no different than if you were adding a person)

Woven is now fully connected to Slack! 🎉🎉🎉
