# Slack

> Talk to the Vern agent from Slack — find and update migrations, share files, and start, steer and approve runs.

Connect Slack and your team can work with the same agent as
[Home](https://docs.vern.so/help-center/home/overview.md) 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.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Slack is turned on per account. If you don't see **Slack** under
> **Developer** in the user menu, [ask us](mailto:roupen@vern.so) 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.
