What a marketplace can provide
A software marketplace or app directory may list integrations that connect a workspace to other services. A listing describes an option; it does not prove that the app is appropriate for your organization. This guide does not assert that Slack has a marketplace.
Review the integration
Confirm the publisher’s identity, support route, privacy terms, requested permissions, and the destinations to which data may be sent. Identify whether the app can read, write, or delete information. Ask the security or procurement team to review high-impact access.
Assign an owner
Record why the app is used, which workspace installed it, who approved it, and how to remove access. Review the app when its purpose changes or the owner leaves. Remove integrations that no longer have a business need.
Review an app in five minutes
Start with the business need: who needs the app and what data must it use? Then check the publisher, requested scopes, privacy terms, support, and whether your organization has approved it. For a higher-risk connection, involve security and procurement before authorization. Record the installation owner and an exit plan. A polished listing or high placement does not answer whether the app can read sensitive conversations.
Choose the next step
| Situation | What to check |
|---|---|
| The app requests broad read access | Ask why each scope is needed and look for a narrower option. |
| The publisher cannot be verified | Pause the installation and use the organization’s review process. |
| The business owner leaves | Reassign ownership or revoke the integration. |
A practical checklist
- Confirm the app and publisher are legitimate.
- Review permissions and data destinations.
- Follow the organization’s approval process.
- Record an owner and a removal procedure.
