10 Best Slack Integrations for 2024

Angela Stringfellow Last updated on September 27, 2024

Over 400,000 businesses use Slack — including 77% of Fortune 100 companies. This instant messaging and collaboration app is great for staying up-to-date wherever you go.

There’s just one little problem: Slack is mostly for communication. Employees have to hop between multiple tools to act on feedback or comments from Slack, which complicates workflows and wastes time.

Fortunately, Slack integrations can reduce the need to flip between apps. These integrations are simple to set up and can easily save time. Best of all, you don’t need to know any coding — it’s as easy as downloading an app from the Slack Marketplace.

There are hundreds of Slack integrations available, but these ten options are some of the best options to streamline your workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Slack integrations cost extra?

Technically, no. Most Slack integrations are free, but you may have to pay for the third-party app you’re integrating into Slack. Some apps require you to have a premium or upgraded subscription to access integrations, so check their pricing details for more information.

How many integrations can I add to my Slack workspace?

It depends on your Slack plan. Accounts with a free plan can add up to 10 integrations, while paid Slack plans allow unlimited integrations.

Do integrations slow down Slack?

They shouldn’t. Slack is designed to handle plenty of integrations. However, the quality of the third-party app can affect performance. If the third-party app is slow or unstable, it could slow down Slack. Always keep an eye on performance after integration to make sure the third-party app isn’t causing problems.
