* **Before you set up any automations between Affinity and Slack, you'll need to [install the Affinity app for Slack](https://affinity.co/slack/auth/install) as part of this set-up flow.**
* If your Slack Workspace requires admin approval for new apps, you will likely need help from your IT team. Send them to this page so they can unblock you.
  * IT admin? Use [this link](https://affinity.co/slack/auth/install) to review and install the Affinity for Slack app directly.
