3232Two scopes a Slack admin commonly asks about:

3434* `channels:join` lets Claude add itself to a public channel when a member selects one of its suggested-channel buttons, or when 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. It cannot join private channels this way.
