How to Approve a Zivy Slack App for Your Workspace

September 18, 2024 ·    3 minutes

Zivy requires Slack admin approval if workspace owners have enabled app approval to pre-approve or restrict certain apps for their workspace.
Please follow these two steps to integrate Zivy into your Slack workspace:
1. Find your Slack workspace owners and admin
Some actions including third-party app approvals are only available to Slack owners and admins. If you don’t have permission to use a feature or change a setting, find an owner or admin to ask for help:
• Hover over “ More” on the left-hand side of the page.
Slack workspace left side menu
• Click on People.
• Click on Filter on the right-hand side of the page.
• Click on Account type, then select an owner or admin role from the drop-down menu. In an Enterprise Grid organisation, you can filter by workspace- and org-level owners and admins.
• Click a photo to open someone’s profile.
2. Manage app approvals
