Hi [COMPANY] Employees!
We’ve got some exciting news! On [date] we’ll roll out an update to the AppStore. You’ll notice a new look and feel, plus new features to make finding and requesting apps even easier.
What is the AppStore?
The AppStore is a catalog of the approved software apps we use at [COMPANY]. You won’t see every app we use in there yet, but you can still request any app even if you don’t see it!
How do I make a request?
You can do it through the AppStore (link), or type “/appstore + Enter” in Slack to kick off a request (please don’t request apps you already have, unless you need more access). The AppStore will let you know via email & Slack when your request is finished.
If you don’t see an app, submit a Custom Request so we can add it to the AppStore later!
Here’s a 1-minute video that shows the new interface and how it works:
I’ve been asked to approve a request — what do I do?
If it’s okay for the requester to have access to the app, click “Approve” in Slack or the AppStore. If not, click “Deny”. It’s that easy!
Here’s an updated video that shows how it works:

The AppStore makes access requests way faster and easier for everyone. If you have any questions, please contact us in [IT SLACK CHANNEL] or at [IT EMAIL ADDRESS]!
