Need a workspace to build your Slack app? The Developer Program gives you a free sandbox so you can prototype and test the latest Slack platform features.

Ready to take your custom Slack app off your screen and out into the wild? In this episode, we'll show you how to clone a Bolt app from GitHub, install what it needs to run, and lock down your settings safely. Then, we'll wrap the whole thing inside a tidy Docker container so your app is travel-ready and prepared to host wherever you like. Class dismissed!

Your AI Agent can now talk to Slack. The official Slack MCP plugin connects Claude Code and Cursor directly to your workspace. Search channels, read threads, send messages, create canvases, and build Block Kit layouts from the comfort of your terminal.

Building a custom Slack app feels great. Pushing it live without breaking anything? Even better. In this episode, we'll show you how easy it is to move your app from a test sandbox to full production with the Slack CLI. You’ll learn how to switch between environments safely, avoid common deployment hiccups, and set up a smooth workflow you can use on every project from here on out. Class dismissed!

Building custom steps for your automations shouldn't feel like a chore. We show you exactly how to use the Slack CLI to log in, test your app locally with websockets, and safely deploy it straight to the Slack platform. You will learn how to set up the necessary file structure, authenticate your workspace using a challenge code, and run custom functionality like looking up users by email. Class dismissed!

Turning a great idea into a real, working web page usually involves a lot of heavy lifting. Lines of code, specialized software, endless design handoffs. In this episode, we’ll show you how to skip all that by bringing Vercel’s v0 agent into Slack — where you, your team, and v0 can build functional web apps together in real time. Class dismissed!

Building custom automations in Slack might sound like a whole to-do, but it's actually a breeze.
