# Integration With Slack {% hint style="info" %} This feature is part of the Enterprise plan. If it is not enabled for your organization, please contact StrongDM at the [StrongDM Help Center](https://help.strongdm.com/hc/en-us). {% endhint %} StrongDM's integration for Slack, when paired with the [Access Workflows](https://docs.strongdm.com/admin/access/access-workflows) feature, allows you to browse the StrongDM resource catalog, request access to resources, and approve or deny such requests (if you're eligible), all within Slack. In addition, the integration can be added to channels, surfacing requests within a group of potential approvers. This guide describes configuration of the StrongDM integration in your Slack workspace. To learn about how to use the integration with Slack to request or approve access, see [Request Access Using Slack](https://app.gitbook.com/s/HaY8OFbXUreWEF61MhKm/access-requests/slack-requests). ### Set up an Access Workflow in StrongDM In order to use the integration with Slack to make and approve access requests, you must have one or more access workflow (and one or more Approval Workflow) enabled in your StrongDM organization. In the Admin UI, under **Access**, you can create an Approval Workflow (which can automatically approve requests, or can notify any number of potential approvers to manually approve). You can then create an Access Workflow, specify which roles you'd like to be able to make requests, which resources they can request, and which Approval Workflow you'd like these requests to use. For more detail on Access Workflow setup, see our [Access Workflows](https://docs.strongdm.com/admin/access/access-workflows) section. ### Slack Installation and Connection You can download and install the integration with Slack from the Slack Marketplace: * For organizations on the US StrongDM Control Plane: [StrongDM Integration with Slack](https://slack.com/marketplace/A05KHTYF2MQ-strongdm) (this is the default). * For organizations on the UK StrongDM Control Plane: [StrongDM Integration with Slack](https://slack.com/marketplace/A07KHGE0XGE-strongdm-uk). * For organizations on the EU StrongDM Control Plane: [StrongDM Integration with Slack](https://slack.com/marketplace/A080339A22C-strongdm-eu). {% tabs %} {% tab title="Install on a single Slack Workspace" %} Before the integration can be used, you need to connect StrongDM to your Slack workspace and grant permissions.
