3> Use Claude directly in Slack and connect your workspace
3> Use Claude directly in your Slack workspace with the Claude in Slack app, and let Claude search Slack with the Slack connector

5Integrate Claude and Slack in two ways: add Claude directly to your Slack workspace, or enable the Slack connector for your Claude apps.
5You can use Claude with Slack in two ways. The Claude in Slack app puts Claude inside your Slack workspace so you can message it there, and the Slack connector lets Claude in claude.ai search your workspace's channels, direct messages, and files for context. The app is available to paid Slack plans once a Slack admin approves it; the connector is available on Team and Enterprise plans and requires the app to be installed first.

7By the end of this page you have installed the app, connected your account, and, if your plan includes it, turned on the connector and asked Claude a question that draws on Slack.

810 This page covers the earlier per-user Claude in Slack app. The current product is [Claude Tag](/docs/claude-tag/overview), which gives your team one Claude identity set up by an admin. If your organization used the earlier app, see [Migrate from the earlier Claude in Slack](/docs/claude-tag/admins/migrate-from-earlier).
