Work centers
Review current work centers behavior, availability, limits, and operating details for Slash Social.
Overview
Work centers group Slack App Home cards and /social tasks by job type. Switch work centers to move between create, calendar, approvals, engage, insights, and settings without leaving Slack.
What it includes
Primary work centers (App Home tabs)
These six centers appear in Switch work center on App Home:
| Work center | What you do here |
|---|---|
| Create | Drafts, AI generation, ideas, media, templates, and libraries |
| Calendar | Calendars, queues, scheduling, gap fill, recurring posts, cadence |
| Approvals | Approvals, assignments, routing, review reasons, production coordination |
| Engage | Comments, DMs, mentions, alerts, and assigned engagement work |
| Insights | Analytics dashboards, reports, learning, and exports |
| Settings | Accounts, brands, roles, billing, cadence, CTAs, and governance |
Each center shows cards filtered by your role, plan, and active brand. Counts on buttons (for example failed jobs or pending approvals) use the same scope as the list opened when you click.
Contextual work centers
These labels group related work but are not always a separate App Home tab:
| Label | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Plan | Planning and calendar scheduling work (same area as Calendar) |
| Workflow | Approval and review coordination (same area as Approvals) |
| Inbox | Inbound comments and DMs (same area as Engage) |
| Quick Start | First-run brand direction and the first saved canonical Post |
| Support | Help articles and recovery flows on the website |
How to use it
- Use Switch work center on App Home to move between the six primary centers.
- Open Today for a pinned dashboard of cards you open most often; it is not a separate work center.
- Type
/socialand search when you know the task name but not which center owns it. - Follow deep links from notifications when you need one center for a single visit; they may not change your saved preference.
Content cards in Create, Calendar, Approvals, Engage, and Insights respect the active brand. Billing, organization limits, and some governance cards stay at the organization level. If a center looks empty, confirm the active brand before assuming there is no work.
Details
Primary centers map to the main App Home tabs. Contextual labels such as Plan, Workflow, and Inbox describe the same work areas under names you may see in notifications, routing, or help articles.
