5050| The channel's Configure page | Open the **Configure** link in the footer of any Claude reply in the channel and switch the **Respond automatically** toggle. See [Configure Claude for a channel](/docs/claude-tag/users/good-habits#configure-claude-for-a-channel). |
5151| The Claude Tag admin page (admins only) | At [`claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag), on the **Slack** tab under **Claude Tag's access**, open the channel's scope and switch **Respond automatically** in its **Advanced** settings. |

53When the scope's [**Channel member edits**](/docs/claude-tag/admins/attach-to-scope#restrict-who-can-set-channel-instructions) setting is **Block**, Claude declines to change **Respond automatically** when anyone asks in Slack, and channel members can't switch the toggle on the channel's Configure page. An admin can still change the setting on the Claude Tag admin page, and a [channel manager](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#delegate-channel-setup-to-channel-managers) can still switch the toggle on the Configure page of a channel assigned to them.

5355The setting covers the channel's messages, not DMs. To quiet a single thread instead of the whole channel, [ask Claude in that thread](#quiet-one-conversation).

5557Until Claude has joined a channel, you see "@-mention Claude in this channel to activate" in place of the toggle on the Configure page and the admin page. You see the same line in a channel shared across workspaces that all belong to your Claude organization, because Claude runs there with your organization's default settings only. [Messages that never get a reply](#messages-that-never-get-a-reply) covers shared channels in more detail.

92Claude confirms the change, which is channel-wide, not just for you. You can make the same change with the toggle on the channel's Configure page, and an admin can make it from the Claude Tag admin page.
94Claude confirms the change, which is channel-wide, not just for you. You can make the same change with the toggle on the channel's Configure page, and an admin can make it from the Claude Tag admin page. If Claude declines because an admin has locked the channel's settings, ask an admin to make the change from the Claude Tag admin page, as [Turn automatic replies on or off](#turn-automatic-replies-on-or-off) describes.

9496Threads Claude already joined keep forwarding replies, so quiet those individually with the in-thread line above. The [`!mute` command](/docs/claude-tag/users/commands#mute-or-unmute-a-thread) quiets one thread at a time and does nothing at a channel's top level.

110112To start Claude reading again, mention `@Claude` in the channel. A mention from a person reaches Claude even while Claude isn't reading the channel, and once Claude posts its reply, it reads the channel's messages again.

112If unprompted replies don't come back after Claude answers a mention, the channel's [**Respond automatically**](#turn-automatic-replies-on-or-off) setting is off. Answering a mention doesn't turn the setting on, and Claude changes the setting only when a channel member asks it to, so turn it back on in any of the three places listed in that section.
