# Slack

> Connect Slack to Modus so your scopes have context from your channels and conversations.

Connect Slack so your channels, messages, and threads become context that Modus can reason over. Slack connects over **OAuth** — see
[Connecting apps](/guides/connect-apps) for the general flow.

## Who can connect

Any Slack member can connect by default. If your workspace has **app approval**
enabled, a **Workspace Owner or Admin** must approve Modus — members can still
start the connection and request approval.

## Connect

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start the connection">
    In [Modus](https://app.getmodus.com), go to **Integrations**, find **Slack**
    under **Communication** (it's also in **Most Popular**), and click **Connect**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize in Slack">
    Sign in to your Slack workspace and approve access in the popup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose channels">
    Back in Modus, select the **channels** Modus should use as context. Only the
    channels you pick are read.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Modus can access

Modus requests read-oriented Slack scopes to read channels, messages, users, and
reactions, and to post Modus responses.

<Accordion title="Full list of Slack scopes">
  `channels:history`, `channels:manage`, `channels:read`, `channels:write`,
  `chat:write`, `chat:write.customize`, `dnd:read`, `emoji:read`, `files:read`,
  `files:write`, `groups:read`, `groups:write`, `im:read`, `im:write`, `mpim:read`,
  `mpim:write`, `pins:read`, `pins:write`, `reactions:read`, `reactions:write`,
  `team:read`, `usergroups:read`, `users:read`, `users:read.email`
</Accordion>

This is a **workspace** connection shared across your Modus organization.
