**Connect Slack to talk to your agent in a Slack channel or DM — the agent replies directly in Slack.**

1. Open the account menu (your name, bottom left) › Message your agents.
2. Choose Slack.
3. Authorize AgentSky to access your Slack workspace.
4. Pick the channel or DM where the agent should reply.
5. @mention the agent in that channel to start a task.

Where: Web › Settings › Agents and apps › Connectors › Slack. Mac › Settings › Agents and apps › Connectors › Slack.

Good to know: the agent responds as a Slack app. Other members of the channel can see the conversation. For a private back-and-forth, connect the agent to a DM instead of a public channel. Related: [Message your agents from any app](https://agentsky.dev/help/message-your-agents).
