How automations post into Slack, what Workflow Builder covers, and how to avoid noisy channels.

What it is
Slack is a team messaging platform. Workflow Builder lets members automate routine steps inside Slack, and apps can post messages through the API or incoming webhooks.
Where it fits
Slack is usually the notification and acknowledgement layer, not the system of record. Post a short message that links to the record in the CRM or task tool.
Limits to plan for
Treat webhook URLs as secrets. Rate limits apply to posting, and too many automated messages train people to ignore a channel: route by owner or urgency.
Plans, usage limits and prices for Slack change often. We do not quote them here; check the official pricing page before you commit, and model your expected monthly volume against it.
