Connect a channel > Connect Slack, send a real request, and understand channel routing. A channel is not only a notification destination. It is a work surface where people provide context, delegate tasks, answer questions, approve actions, and receive results. Connect a Slack channel ## Do this Open this mission from **Help & onboarding** and choose **Show me**. The walkthrough highlights the real Slack authorization control—or, if Slack is already connected, the starter prompt to copy and try. 1. Open **Connect** from the onboarding mission. 2. Choose **Slack** and authorize the intended workspace. 3. Add SuperEmber to a channel where the first task already has useful context. 4. Mention `@SuperEmber` with one narrow request. 5. Confirm the reply appears in the same thread. ```text theme={null} @SuperEmber summarize the decisions in this thread and list the open owners. ``` ## Understand routing SuperEmber resolves the channel binding before starting work: * A channel assigned to a Team Agent routes work into that team boundary. * An unassigned company channel can use the Company AI fallback. * Direct messages can route to your Personal Agent when the workspace supports that path. * Team membership and agent-access rules still apply; assigning a channel does not bypass them. ## Use a Main channel intentionally A team's optional **Main channel** is the operation surface for delegated work. When a Team Agent hands work to a specialist, SuperEmber creates or updates an operation thread there so the team can follow progress and handle a human escalation. Do not assign a noisy social channel as Main. Choose the channel where that team's operational work should be visible. ## You are done when The checklist marks **Connect a channel** as done after a linked channel receives a completed inbound turn with a non-empty reply. If it does not advance, verify the app was mentioned correctly and wait for the reply to finish. A blocked, failed, or empty turn does not count.
