Slack is attempting to broaden its appeal to businesses and has bought a small enterprise software startup in Denver to help.

The workplace chat app company said Tuesday that it has acquired Missions, an enterprise software startup. Slack declined to comment on the financial terms of the deal, which is Slack’s third acquisition in its history.

Missions specializes in technology that lets non-IT staff more easily create features in Slack so customers can individually tailor the workplace app to suit their needs. These could include features like creating “a simple approval process” inside Slack in which different team members can “sign off” when a project is complete, Elliott said.

As for whether Slack is now considering acquiring more companies than it has in the past, Elliott said, “I suspect it won’t be that long between this one and the next one.”
