# Transform AI in Slack

Bring your Transform AI teammate into Slack. Mention @Transform to get answers, approve actions, and even kick off code changes, all without leaving the channel.

**TransformAI in Slack**

Mention `@Transform` in any channel to talk to your Transform AI teammate — the same agent you use in the app, now working alongside your team in Slack.

**Ask, and get a real answer.** `@Transform` streams its response right in the thread, using the same tools and context it has in TransformAI — projects, tasks, requirements, and more.

**Stay in the loop without switching tabs.** Once a teammate has replied in a thread, TransformAI follows the conversation and knows when to jump back in — no need to re-mention it every time.

**Approve actions where the conversation already is.** When the agent needs a decision before proceeding, it posts an approval card right in the thread. Anyone on the channel can review and approve it.

**Turn a conversation into code.** Ask Transform to fix a bug or make a change, and it can spin up a sandboxed coding run, push a branch, and open a pull request — posting progress back to the thread as it works.

**Get notified where you already are.** Task updates and TransformAI links shared in Slack unfurl with live previews, so your channel stays a real source of truth.

**Set up in seconds.** Run `/transform` in any channel to connect it, assign a teammate persona, and choose what it should watch for.

Each channel gets its own scoped credentials, so TransformAI only ever acts within the access your team has already granted it.

   2. Set the Teammate&#x20;
      1. The teammate dictate the permissions the Bot will have while interacting with Transform.
   3. Give your Setup Channel Instructions&#x20;
9. Finish the configuration by clicking Complete Setup

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679440205-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbO5MkvlsUXaVsGsjqKWy%2Fuploads%2FglZaJEYiwohNbar1PokS%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=c1f26123-3514-495b-9910-585038197732" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Now you can start interacting with the Bot directly in the channel, mention @Transform with a question or task, and it'll respond in the thread using the scope and teammate you just configured.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.transform.ai/administration/transform-ai-in-slack.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
