Slack Changelog
Slack is broadening its enterprise search and data integration capabilities while refining administrative control over apps and message workflows. The platform added Gmail and Outlook as searchable data sources alongside GitHub issues, letting admins connect multiple external systems so members can discover content across tools without leaving Slack. On the admin side, the team shipped granular scope approval for app requests—workspace owners can now accept or deny specific permissions rather than all-or-nothing decisions—and added DLP rules to scan for secrets like API tokens and access keys. Message scheduling for forwards and a stop button for Slackbot responses round out the quality-of-life improvements shipped in this window.
Scheduled message forwarding expanded to let users pick when forwarded messages send, addressable via the arrow icon next to Forward. Enterprise search grew to surface GitHub issues alongside pull requests, with Org Owners and Admins now able to connect up to five GitHub organizations as data sources.
Enterprise search expanded to include Gmail and Outlook as data sources, letting Org Owners and Admins surface email content alongside workspace messages. Workspace Owners gained granular control over optional app scopes during review, and agents consolidated under a new Tools tab with a Stop button to interrupt Slackbot responses.
