About Slack

Slack's developer platform provides documentation, tools, and resources for building apps that integrate with Slack workspaces. It covers app development topics including AI integration, APIs, app management, app manifests, admin resources, authentication, Block Kit (Slack's UI framework), enterprise features, interactivity, messaging, workflows, and Slack Marketplace surfaces.

The platform offers a command-line tool (Slack CLI) for creating, running, and managing Slack apps, along with SDKs and frameworks for multiple languages, including Bolt for Java, Bolt for JavaScript, and Bolt for Python, plus corresponding language-specific Slack SDKs. A Slack GitHub Action is also available as part of the toolset. Sample apps and a Block Kit Builder are provided to help developers get started with app templates and interface design.

This resource is intended for developers building apps, bots, workflows, and integrations on top of Slack. Additional support includes an FAQ, a dedicated developer support system, a developer newsletter, learning paths, workshops, and Slack certifications.
