+- Currently (as of November, 2024) this component is not available for new installation unless you have already created a classic Slack application (which the bridge makes use of in order to enable bridging between Slack and Matrix), because the creation of classic Slack applications has been discontinued since June 4 2024.

 The playbook can install and configure [matrix-appservice-slack](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-slack) for you.
