118118
119A member selected **Add to channel** on a channel Claude suggested in a direct message. Claude's welcome message, the introduction it posts when a member first opens a direct message with it, suggests a few public channels, each with an **Add to channel** button. Selecting one directs Claude to add itself to that channel.
119Either a member selected **Add to channel** on a channel Claude suggested in a direct message, or the channel's name matches an [auto-join channel pattern](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#block-or-auto-join-channels-by-name) an admin set, and Claude joined the public channel when it was created or renamed. Claude's welcome message, the introduction it posts when a member first opens a direct message with it, suggests a few public channels, each with an **Add to channel** button. Selecting one directs Claude to add itself to that channel.

121Claude performs that join with its own `channels:join` permission, so Slack's audit log records the join as the Claude app and shows no inviter; the member's selection is not visible in Slack's log. Claude never joins a channel unprompted. [What the Claude Slack app can access](/docs/claude-tag/admins/for-slack-admins) covers how members add it.

123123**How to resolve**
124124
125Nothing is misconfigured, and no setting changed. If Claude shouldn't be in the channel, remove it with `/remove @Claude`, or [set the scope's Claude Tag version to Off](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#quiet-or-remove-claude-tag) so it stops responding there even if it's added again. If you want every join in the audit log attributed to a person, ask members to add Claude with `/invite @Claude` rather than the buttons; Slack records an invite as the inviting member's action.
