Connect Slack and your team can work with the same agent as Home without leaving Slack: mention @Vern in a channel or send it a direct message to find and update migrations, share files, and start, steer and approve runs.
Slack is turned on per account. If you don’t see Slack under Developer in the user menu, ask us to enable it.

Connect a workspace

  1. Open the user menu (bottom left) and go to Developer → Slack.
  2. Click Connect to Slack and approve the Vern app for your workspace.
Connecting and disconnecting is Admin-only. Each Vern account connects one Slack workspace, and a workspace can only be connected to one Vern account. Org-wide (Enterprise Grid) installs aren’t supported — install Vern into a single workspace instead.

Use it

Mention @Vern in a channel or DM it. The first time someone talks to it, Vern asks them to link their Vern account, so everything it does runs as that person, with their role. Plans, approvals and deletes work the way they do in Home — the person who asked approves them. The Linked people table on the Slack page shows which Slack users are linked to which Vern users. Admins can Unlink someone. To disconnect, click Disconnect on the same page.

Data residency

If your account’s data is stored in Australia, remember that anything Vern posts in Slack is stored by Slack under your Slack workspace’s data residency. Vern keeps channel replies to summaries, and sends row data and download links only to the person who asked.
