Build a workflow: Add or remove workflow managers

To allow other people to edit a workflow you've created, you can add them as a workflow manager. Workflow managers have the same permissions as the workflow creator and can take the following actions:

  • Change a workflow’s name, description, and custom icon
  • Edit or remove workflow steps
  • Adjust workflow permissions
  • View workflow activity
  • Unpublish or delete a workflow
  • Add or remove other workflow managers
  • Export a workflow

Note: Owners and admins can add themselves as workflow managers to any published workflow from the workflow dashboard. If you add yourself to a workflow in a private channel you don’t belong to, you won't be able to see the name of the channel. 

Add or remove workflow managers

  1. From your desktop, hover over   More, then select   Automations.
