# Use the Agent in Slack

> Run the full AdStellar Agent right inside Slack — mention @AdStellar in any channel or DM it to analyze performance, create ads, and launch or manage Meta campaigns.

The **[AdStellar Agent](/agent/overview)** works inside Slack, too. It's the same AI media buyer you use in the app — with every tool — reached by mentioning **@AdStellar** in any channel or sending it a direct message. Analyze performance, write copy, generate creative, and launch or manage Meta campaigns without leaving your team's workspace.

<Note>
  The Agent in Slack runs on **your own team and workspace data**, exactly like the in-app Agent. Anything it creates (images, videos, campaigns) shows up in your AdStellar projects, media library, and campaigns just like work you do by hand.
</Note>

## Connect Slack

Connecting Slack is a one-time, **team-level** step (usually done by a team owner or admin).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    In AdStellar, click **Integrations** in the left sidebar and open the **Slack** card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect Slack">
    Click **Connect Slack** and approve the permissions on Slack's authorization screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose which workspaces the bot can act in">
    You'll be asked which AdStellar **workspaces** the bot may act in and which one is your **default**. This is ideal for agencies — pick the exact set of client workspaces.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite the bot (or DM it)">
    In any Slack channel, run `/invite @AdStellar`, or just open a direct message with the bot. You're ready to go.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Talk to the Agent

<Steps>
  <Step title="Mention it or DM it">
    Type `@AdStellar` followed by your request in a channel, or send the bot a direct message.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It gets to work">
    The bot reacts with ⏳ to acknowledge, runs the Agent, and replies **in a thread** — then swaps the reaction to ✅ when it's done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm anything that takes action">
    Read-only answers (analysis, copy ideas) come straight back. Anything that spends credits or changes your account — launching, pausing, budget changes, image/video generation — shows **Confirm / Cancel** buttons first. Confirmed jobs run in the background and post their result back into the thread.
  </Step>
</Steps>

A few things to try:

```text theme={null}
@AdStellar how did my campaigns do in the last 7 days?
@AdStellar write 3 primary text options for my summer sale
@AdStellar pause the campaign called "Retargeting - Broad"     (asks to confirm)
@AdStellar make a 15s UGC video for my product                 (asks to confirm)
```

<Note>
  Performance analysis and campaign management need a connected Meta ad account. If you haven't connected Meta yet, see [Connect Meta](/getting-started/connect-meta). Creative generation works without it.
</Note>

## Pick the right workspace (agencies)

Each Slack **channel** can be bound to one AdStellar **workspace** (client), so the Agent always acts on the right account.

* Run `/adstellar workspace` in a channel to choose its workspace. If a channel has more than one allowed workspace, the bot will prompt you the first time you mention it there.
* DMs and any channel without a binding use the install's **default** workspace.
* Run `/adstellar status` anytime to see the current channel's workspace.

## Slash commands

| Command                    | What it does                                                  |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/adstellar workspace`     | Choose which AdStellar workspace this channel uses            |
| `/adstellar status`        | Show the current workspace for this channel                   |
| `/adstellar capture off`   | Stop the Agent from reading this channel (`on` to resume)     |
| `/adstellar capture purge` | Stop reading **and** delete what it learned from this channel |
| `/adstellar help`          | Show the list of commands                                     |

## Channel context

To give better answers, the Agent can learn from a channel's messages (for example, picking up on goals or feedback your team discusses). It only ever uses this within **your own team and workspace**.

If you'd rather it didn't read a channel, run `/adstellar capture off` in that channel — and `/adstellar capture purge` to also delete anything it already learned there.

## What you can ask

Everything the in-app Agent does, you can do from Slack:

* **Analyze performance** — rank top creatives, copy, and audiences; spot underperformers; explain *why* a metric changed.
* **Create ad creative** — image ads, talking-actor and UGC-style videos, and ads from a landing-page URL or a competitor's ad.
* **Launch & manage Meta campaigns** — build and publish campaigns, clone past winners, and pause, resume, archive, or adjust budgets.
* **Answer questions** — strategy advice, how-to help, and quick lookups about your account.

See the full breakdown in [What You Can Do](/agent/capabilities).

## Good to know

* **Same credits.** Turns are metered in credits just like the in-app Agent, and any paid action is confirmed before it runs — no silent charges. See [Modes & Credits](/agent/modes-credits).
* **Results are also in the app.** Generated creative and campaign changes appear in your AdStellar projects, media library, and campaigns.
* **Slack is additive.** The in-app Agent is always available at [app.adstellar.ai/chat](https://app.adstellar.ai/chat); Slack just brings it to where your team already works.
