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.

• 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

Workspace owners and admins can enable app approval to pre-approve and restrict certain apps for their workspace

• From your desktop, click on your Slack workspace name in the sidebar.

• Hover over Tools & settings, then select Manage Apps.

• Click on App Management Settings in the left column.

• If the “Require App Approval” option is checked, you can do one of the following:

a. Uncheck the “Require App Approval” option OR

b. Under, “Require App Approval”, check “Allow members to request approval for apps”

• Additionally, if the option "Only allow apps from the Slack directory" is enabled, please disable it.

Once you begin integrating Zivy with your Slack workspace, your admin will receive a direct message (DM) from Slackbot requesting approval.
