# Slack

> Connect Slack once for your whole workspace so Converge can deliver reports to your channels.

Converge posts as the **converge** bot, never as you. Today, routines are the only feature that posts to Slack.

## How it works

The Slack connection is shared across your workspace. A workspace admin connects it once under [**Settings → Integrations**](https://app.runconverge.com/-/settings/workspace-integrations). After that, Converge can pick a channel and deliver through the same connection.

## Connect Slack

<Note>
  Only workspace admins can connect, reconnect, or disconnect Slack. If you're
  not an admin, ask one to set it up.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the integration">
    Go to [**Settings →
    Integrations**](https://app.runconverge.com/-/settings/workspace-integrations),
    click **Add connection** and select **Slack**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Converge to Slack">
    Click **Add to Slack** and authorize the app in your Slack workspace. Slack
    returns you to Converge once it's connected.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Slack bot tokens don't expire, so you connect once and the connection keeps working until it's revoked or disconnected.

## Add the bot to a channel

Connecting Slack installs the converge app in your workspace, but it can only post in channels it's a member of. After you connect, add the bot to each channel you want reports in.

1. Open the channel in Slack.
2. Type `@converge` and send the message.
3. Slack asks whether to add the bot. Depending on your Slack app, it shows a popup (like the one below) or prompts you right in the channel. Either way, choose **Add to Channel**.

Once the bot's a member, Converge can post there. Private channels won't appear until you've added the bot to it.

## What Converge can and can't do

When you connect, Converge asks Slack for permission to:

* **Post messages as the converge bot.** Deliver reports to the channels you pick. Messages come from Converge, not from you.
* **See your list of channels.** So Converge can choose where to post.
* **Read basic profile info.** To @mention the right teammates in a report.

Converge can't read your messages, files, or conversation history, and it only posts when a routine runs.
