# Slack

> Work with the agent from your Slack workspace.

Needle's agent works inside your Slack workspace: ask it for things in DMs or channels, and get hiring updates without opening the app.

## Connect

Connect your Slack workspace from Needle's settings — it installs the Needle app and links it to your organization. Most teams also pick (or create) a hiring channel for updates.

## Talk to the agent

DM the Needle app, or @mention it in any channel it's in. It handles the same things you'd do in the app:

* "How's the backend engineer pipeline looking?"
* "Draft a rejection email for Anna"
* "Move Tom to final round"
* "Open a senior designer role"

It answers with real data and links into the app when you want the full view.

## Updates that come to you

In your hiring channel, the agent posts what needs attention: new applicants with their screening results, summaries after interviews, replies from candidates in outreach.

## Approving drafts

When the agent drafts an email or interview invite, the draft shows up in Slack with the full text. Approve it there and it sends; edit or dismiss it if it's not right. Nothing is sent without your sign-off.
