6 This page documents the earlier Claude Code in Slack, which runs each session under an individual user's account. It answers channel @mentions only from Pro and Max accounts, and only in a Slack workspace that no organization has connected to [Claude Tag](https://claude.com/product/tag). Claude Tag runs @Claude as your organization's shared identity with admin-configured access.

1313Claude Code in Slack brings the power of Claude Code directly into your Slack workspace. When you mention `@Claude` with a coding task, Claude automatically detects the intent and creates a Claude Code cloud session, allowing you to delegate development work without leaving your team conversations.
1414
1515This integration is built on the existing Claude for Slack app but adds intelligent routing to Claude Code cloud sessions for coding-related requests. Each session runs under your own Claude account, using your connected repositories and your plan limits.

66 | **Code + Chat** | Claude analyzes each message and intelligently routes between Claude Code (for coding tasks) and Claude Chat (for writing, analysis, and general questions). Best for teams who want a single @Claude entry point for all types of work. |

8482You can also explicitly tell Claude to handle a request as a coding task, even if it doesn't automatically detect it.
8583
86<Note>
87 Claude Code in Slack only works in channels (public or private). It does not work in direct messages (DMs).

98<Warning>
99 When @Claude is invoked in Slack, Claude is given access to the conversation context to better understand your request. Claude may follow directions from other messages in the context, so users should make sure to only use Claude in trusted Slack conversations.

183### "The legacy Claude in Slack bot is retired"
190184
191185The notice opens with `The legacy Claude in Slack bot is retired effective October 5, 2026 and no longer responds in channels.` Your Slack workspace is connected to a Claude organization, and the earlier version is still selected for the channel, the workspace, or the organization default in that organization's Claude Tag settings. The notice doesn't depend on your own plan, so Pro and Max accounts get it too.
