Troubleshoot Claude Tag in channels and DMs changedclaude-tag/users/troubleshooting

Nearest release: v2.1.296, published 2 hours before upstream edited the page. Shown because the two are within 24 hours of each other. Nothing here says the release caused the edit.

Upstream edited this page at 9 Oct 2026 19:07 UTC, give or take a minute or two: the time comes from Anthropic’s own sitemap rather than from a commit. This site recorded the change at 22 Oct 2026 18:07 UTC.

1111Many fixes end with something to send your admin. On this page that means whoever manages your organization's Claude account at claude.ai, and it's often not the same person as your Slack administrator. If you don't know who that is, ask whoever set Claude up in your workspace.

30302. **Is Claude in this channel?** Type `/invite @Claude` in the channel's message box, not in a thread reply. Slack rejects `/invite` inside threads ("/invite is not supported in threads. Sorry!"). **Works**: Slack posts "Claude was added to #channel" (or "is already in this channel"). Mention it again. **Fails**: Slack says you can't add apps to this channel (a Slack Connect or guest-restricted channel); try an internal channel instead. If Slack says "You don't have permission to invite people to this channel", the channel or workspace limits who can add people. In Slack, open **Channel details** → **Agents & apps** (called **Integrations** in some Slack versions), select **Add**, and pick **Claude**. Or ask someone who can add people to the channel to add Claude.
31313. **Is Claude Tag turned on for this channel?** Mention it again now that it's invited. **Works**: it reacts and replies. **Fails**: Claude replies in one of these ways, and each needs your admin:
3232 * **A notice that starts "Claude isn't on in this channel yet"**: your admin hasn't finished setting up Claude Tag. Send them [Launch Claude Tag](/docs/claude-tag/admins/setup-overview#launch-claude-tag).
33 * **A notice that says "Claude is disabled in this channel"**: Claude Tag is turned off for the channel, its workspace, or the organization. Send them [Claude is disabled in this channel](/docs/claude-tag/admins/troubleshooting#claude-is-disabled-in-this-channel).
34 * **A notice that the legacy Claude in Slack bot is retired**: the channel is still set to **Legacy**. Send them [The legacy Claude in Slack bot is retired](/docs/claude-tag/admins/troubleshooting#the-legacy-claude-in-slack-bot-is-retired-effective-october-5-2026).
33 * **A notice that says "Claude is disabled in this channel"**: Claude Tag is turned off for the channel, its workspace, or the organization. Send them [Claude is disabled in this channel](/docs/claude-tag/admins/troubleshooting.md#claude-is-disabled-in-this-channel).

36If `@Claude` still gets no reaction and no reply after all three, send the [admin entries for a silent workspace](/docs/claude-tag/admins/troubleshooting#nothing-responds) to an admin. For silence in one channel, send them to your Claude admin. For silence across a whole workspace or a whole Enterprise Grid, send them to whoever administers Slack for you, because the fix usually needs a Slack admin.

46Mentioning Claude in a channel doesn't require the sender to have a Claude account or seat, so by default anyone in the workspace can use it. Your organization can restrict that with the [member access setting](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#restrict-who-can-use-claude), in which case members outside the restriction are declined.

A new thread only queues a second session behind the first.

122* **No answer and no notice.** By default, Claude is off in Slack Connect channels and posts no notice there. An Owner or a Claude Tag admin can [turn Claude on for Slack Connect channels](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#slack-connect-channels). If your admin has turned Claude on and it still doesn't answer, your admin can check the cases listed there.

123123* **A reply only you can see.** If Claude's reply starts "This is a shared Slack Connect channel, and here I only act on requests from people in the host organization with a connected Claude account", the company that set up Claude in this channel has limited it to its own members.
124124* **A notice about the thread's earlier session.** The notice "This channel is now shared with another organization through Slack Connect, so this thread's earlier session can't continue here" means Claude was working in this thread before the channel was shared. Mention `@Claude` in a new thread.

128128Where guest access is restricted, you may first see "This channel is shared across multiple workspaces, and Claude can't verify whether it includes guests, so Claude can't respond here." If you ask Claude from another conversation to act in one of these channels, such as posting a message there, you see a reply that ends "Claude isn't available in channels shared across your Enterprise Grid".
129129 
130Each of these Enterprise Grid messages means the channel spans more than one workspace. The [admin entries on these messages](/docs/claude-tag/admins/troubleshooting#this-channel-is-shared-across-multiple-workspaces) explain what causes each one and what an admin can change.

170* Ask a claude.ai organization owner to change the guest setting for this channel, and send them [the guest access setting](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#restrict-guest-channels). They can let Claude reply with only the channel's own setup, or with full access. If you don't know who your organization's owners are, ask whoever set Claude up in your workspace.

172172The guest access setting restores replies, not workspace search. Claude can't search the workspace from a channel that includes guests, even when it's allowed to respond there. Removing the guests or moving the conversation to a channel with no guests restores search as well.

591Every request Claude makes from a channel passes through [Agent Proxy](/docs/claude-tag/concepts/agent-identity#agent-proxy), which carries HTTP and HTTPS only.

625625A rate limit looks similar but is a different problem, and raising the spend limit doesn't clear it. If your message instead says "That message didn't get through to Claude." or begins "Rate-limited delivering that message", requests arrived faster than Claude accepts them at that moment. Wait a few seconds, then send your message again.
