FAQ
Can I use Pickle with Workflow Builder?
Unfortunately no, Slack does not allow public distribution of third-party Slack Workflow Builder intergrations. This was a big change that removed the old version of Workflow Steps in favour of this new model on September 25th, 2024. With that in mind, there is no easy way to create and allow users to integrate Pickle as a Workflow Step.
I'm not sure if I'll need a subscription. Do I need to sign up?
No, just install Pickle and don't bother signing up for a trial or subscribing. It'll ask you to subscribe if/when you hit the active user threshold.
Does Pickle support Slack Connect / Enterprise Grid?
Yes. Users from your organization can include external users in picks. External users can accept/decline but can't perform other actions.
