The most common Slack apps and integrations

There are hundreds of apps to utilize within the Slack workspace. We could literally write a whole other book describing them all. It's difficult to pick and choose which ones to highlight over the others and that's why it's important that you and your members do your own research within the Slack App Directory as well as finding out which apps fit the needs of your team.
