Command reference ยท Claude Code
/install-slack-app
Installs the Claude Slack app.
The /install-slack-app command installs the Claude Slack app and opens the browser to complete the OAuth flow. A workspace administrator first installs the app from the Slack App Marketplace; afterward, each person connects their own Claude account via the app home in Slack. After that, coding tasks can be delegated directly from Slack channels via @Claude mentions to a Claude Code web session that runs under your own GitHub account and plan quota. Requirements are a Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan with Claude Code access, enabled access to Claude Code on the web, and a connected GitHub account with at least one authenticated repository. The routing mode in the app home lets you decide whether messages always go to Claude Code or are routed between code and chat sessions depending on content. For Team and Enterprise workspaces, this integration is currently being gradually replaced by Claude Tag, which uses the same Slack app but runs as a shared, admin-managed organizational identity.
โ WHEN TO USE IT?
Making Claude Code usable from within team Slack
Run /install-slack-app, then connect your own Claude account in the app home
Having bug reports handled directly from a Slack channel
After installing, add with /invite @Claude to the channel and mention @Claude in the bug thread
โ WHEN NOT TO?
No Slack workspace available or no admin rights to install
Installation requires a workspace administrator and a browser-based OAuth flow
Better: Use Claude Code directly in the terminal or IDE
Team or Enterprise workspace that has already switched to Claude Tag
Claude Tag replaces the individually connected Slack app with an admin-managed organizational identity
Better: Use the Claude Tag migration guide instead of connecting the app individually again
