# Trigger Slack actions in workflows
Automate Slack channel and group management from any Siit workflow
### Step 1: Open or create a workflow
Navigate to **Workflows** and either:
- Open an existing workflow (like "Employee Onboarding" or "Access Request")
- Create a new workflow from scratch
### Step 2: Add a Slack action
1. In the workflow builder, click the **+ button** where you want to add the action
2. Open the **Paths** panel on the right
3. Expand the **Slack** section
4. Select the action you need:
- **Add user to Slack group**
- **Add user to public channel**
- **Create public channel**
1. - **Post a message on a Slack channel**
### Step 3: Configure the action
Each action has specific fields:
**Add user to Slack group:**
- **Group:** Select from slack group dropdown
**Add user to public channel:**
- **Channel:** Select the channels from dropdown
**Create public channel:**
- **Channel name:** Define a naming convention using variables (e.g., `project-`)
**Post a message:**
- **Channel:** Target channel
- **Message:** Compose your message (supports Slack markdown and variables)
### Step 4: Add conditions (optional)
Use conditions to control when actions execute:
- Only add users if their role = "Engineering"
- Only archive channels if project status = "Completed"
- Only post messages if approval = "Approved"
- Activate the workflow when ready
### Example workflows
- **New hire onboarding:** Add to 5+ channels based on department
- **Project kickoff:** Create channel + add team members + post welcome
- **Offboarding:** Remove from all groups and archive owned channels
