## About Augment for Slack

Augment for Slack brings the power of Augment Chat to your team's Slack workspace. Mention <Command text="@Augment" /> in any channel or start a DM with Augment to have deep codebase-aware conversations with your team.

*To protect your confidential information, Augment will not include repository context in responses when used in shared channels with external members.*

## Installing Augment for Slack

### 1. Install GitHub App

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Install Augment GitHub App" href="https://github.com/apps/augmentcode/installations/new" icon={<GitHubLogo />} horizontal>
    GitHub App for Augment Chat in Slack
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

To enable Augment's rich codebase-awareness, install the Augment GitHub App and grant access to your desired repositories. Organization owners and repository admins can install the app directly; others will need owner approval. See [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/using-github-apps/installing-a-github-app-from-a-third-party) for details.

We recommend authorizing only the few active repositories you want accessible to Augment Slack users. You can modify repository access anytime in the GitHub App settings.

Once you have the GitHub App installed, install the Augment Slack App. You'll need an Augment account and correct permissions to install Slack apps for your workspace.

Any workspace member can use the Slack app once installed. Contact us if you need to restrict access to specific channels or users.
