# In Slack

Everything a workspace member sees. Agents answer where they are mentioned, own the thread they replied in, and never listen to a channel uninvited.

- **Conversations** — How a message reaches an Agent, who owns a thread, and what Chickpea ignores. [Read it](/slack/conversations).
- **Handles and channel grants** — Agent handles are Slack user groups; channel grants decide where each Agent may answer. [Read it](/slack/handles-and-channels).
- **Replies, tables, and status** — Streamed answers, adaptive tables, task rows, the live status line, and the reply footer. [Read it](/slack/replies).
- **Manage Chickpea from Slack** — Create and change Agents by asking in Slack, with approvals, undo, and links. [Read it](/slack/manage-from-slack).
- **The two Slack app lanes** — Who owns the Slack app, what the shared gateway holds, and which lane to pick. [Read it](/slack/slack-app-lanes).
- **Set up your own Slack app** — Create, install, and verify a Slack app your own workspace owns. [Read it](/slack/set-up-your-own-slack-app).
- **Troubleshooting Slack** — Slack refusals and silences, with the cause, the fix, and how to confirm each one. [Read it](/slack/troubleshooting).
