Your team lives in Slack. Your tools should too.

Off-the-shelf Slack apps get you 80% of the way there. The last 20%? That’s where the magic happens – and that’s what we build.

AZ Technology Solutions creates custom Slack apps that fit your team’s exact workflow. As demonstrated in our enterprise automation series, we built a full “Mission Control” Slack hub featuring a custom file upload bot (S3 + Cloudflare CDN), HR onboarding/offboarding workflows, IT tool access request systems, SSL certificate issuance, and bug reporting – all controlled through rich BlockKit UIs directly in Slack. We handle the full lifecycle: app creation, permissions, deployment, and ongoing support.

What We Build

🛠 Custom Slash Commands

We’ve built real slash commands for production environments – from IT tool access requests to SSL certificate issuance to bug reporting, all triggered by simple commands. Type /access-request Datadog and an interactive form collects justification, routes for approval, and provisions access automatically. We build slash commands that put your business operations at your team’s fingertips – no tab-switching required.

🤖 Workflow Bots

Bots that actually do useful things:

  • File upload bots – users upload files in Slack, and they’re automatically stored in S3 with Cloudflare CDN links returned instantly
  • HR onboarding/offboarding – rich BlockKit forms that collect new hire info, provision accounts, and notify all relevant teams
  • IT tool access requests – interactive approval workflows with manager routing built into Slack
  • Bug reporting shortcuts – right-click any message to file a bug with pre-populated context
  • SSL certificate issuance – request and track certs without leaving Slack

🔔 Smart Notifications

Get the right information in the right channel at the right time:

  • Sales alerts when a deal closes or a big lead comes in
  • Server/uptime monitoring alerts
  • E-commerce order notifications
  • Social media mention alerts
  • Custom digest summaries (daily sales, support tickets, etc.)

🔗 Deep Integrations

We connect Slack to your existing tools:

  • CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive)
  • Project management (Asana, Monday, Notion, Jira)
  • Accounting (QuickBooks, Wave, FreshBooks)
  • E-commerce (Shopify, WooCommerce)
  • Custom internal tools and databases

📋 Interactive Messages & Modals

Rich Slack experiences with buttons, dropdowns, forms, and modals – exactly like the BlockKit UIs we built for our Mission Control hub. Your team can take action directly from Slack – submit a bug report, approve an access request, upload files to cloud storage, trigger HR workflows – all through polished interactive interfaces without ever leaving the app.

FAQ

Can you modify an existing Slack app we already use?

If it’s a custom app your team built, absolutely. If it’s a third-party app, we can usually build a better custom version that does exactly what you need.

Where does the app run?

We can host it for you (included in our maintenance plan) or deploy it to your own infrastructure – AWS, Google Cloud, or your own servers. Your choice.

Is it secure?

Yes. We follow Slack’s security best practices, use OAuth for authentication, encrypt data in transit and at rest, and never store sensitive data we don’t need to. We can also work within your organization’s security requirements.

We use Microsoft Teams, not Slack. Can you help?

Yes – we build for Teams as well. The pricing and process are similar. Mention it in your discovery call and we’ll scope it out.
