# Kelasa in Slack

> DM your assistant and approve runs without leaving Slack

The Kelasa Slack app brings the [assistant](/concepts/assistant) — with the
same capabilities and the same guardrails — into Slack DMs.

## Install

A workspace admin installs the app from **Settings → Slack** in the Kelasa web
app, approving the standard Slack consent screen. One install covers the whole
Slack workspace.

## Link your identity

Kelasa needs to know which Kelasa user is behind a Slack message before it acts
on their behalf. Identities are matched through your verified Slack email: if
it matches your Kelasa account in the installing workspace, you're linked
automatically the first time you DM the assistant.

Everything you do in Slack runs **as you** — with your role and your
workspace's policies, exactly as in the web app.

## Talk to the assistant

DM the Kelasa app the way you'd use Chat on the web: ask questions grounded in
your knowledge bases, run workflows and skills, act in connected tools.
Conversations are threaded, and the same thread keeps its context.

## Confirm and approve from Slack

When an action has side effects, the assistant posts a **confirm-run card**
into the DM showing exactly what it's about to do — approve with a button tap
(or a typed yes/no). Pending workflow approvals can also reach you as Slack
cards, so an approval doesn't wait for someone to open the web app.

<Note>
  The assistant works in direct messages — it doesn't read your channels.
