# Slack connector

> Let the agent search your public Slack channels and read threads while it generates.

The Slack connector lets the agent search channels and read threads. Use it to pull decisions and requirements out of Slack conversations straight into what it builds.

![Slack in the Agent connectors window, with the Connect button, the Agent access switch and the access Polymet asks for](https://mintcdn.com/polymet/TfIzLh80_L4bW9xQ/images/docs/connectors/slack-card.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TfIzLh80_L4bW9xQ\&q=85\&s=da8f93393077ba15f65795195730b8ad)

## What the agent can do

* Search messages in public channels
* Read public channels and their threads
* See who people are, so names in a thread make sense

It cannot post messages, and Polymet does not ask Slack for access to private channels or direct messages.

## Connect

1. Click **Agent connectors** in the generation input.
2. Find **Slack** and click **Connect**.
3. Sign in to your Slack workspace in the popup and approve the access.

## Try it

```text theme={null}
Search #checkout-redesign for what we decided about guest checkout, and
update the checkout page to match.
```

```text theme={null}
Read the thread in #customer-feedback about the onboarding survey and
build the survey with the questions people asked for.
```
