Usage info​

This App Management API method lists pending app install requests for a workspace. It only lists requests for installation that have not yet been approved or restricted.

This method requires an admin.* scope. It's obtained through the normal OAuth process, but there are a few additional requirements. The scope must be requested by an Enterprise org admin or owner, and the OAuth install must take place on the entire Enterprise org, not an individual workspace. See the admin.apps:read method for more detailed instructions.

team_id is required if your Enterprise org contains more than one workspace.

Typical error response

{
  "ok": false,
  "error": "missing_scope",
  "needed": "admin.apps:read",
  "provided": "read,client,admin,identify,post,apps"
}

The is_user_app_collaborator response field for each request may be used to determine whether the installer is also a collaborator on the app.

The developer_type in each app helpfully describes its origin.

  • internal: the app was developed as part of this Enterprise organization or workspace.
  • third_party: the app was developed by a third party, such as (but not limited to) those found in the Slack Marketplace.
  • slack: the app was built with love by Slack. Hello!
