# How Corunner Works in Slack

> Start conversations, review approvals, and manage work with Corunner inside Slack. Learn how @Corunner works in channels, threads, and direct messages.

Corunner lives inside Slack so your team can stay in the tools you already use. Once you add Corunner to your workspace, you can mention **@Corunner** in a channel, thread, or direct message to route work, ask questions, or trigger agents.

## Installing Corunner in Slack

Corunner is added to Slack during the [onboarding flow](/quickstart). The install requires a Slack workspace admin. On the onboarding screen, open the connection card and choose **Add to Slack**. Slack will ask you to approve the channels and permissions Corunner can access.

<Info>
  Members who are not workspace admins will see a shareable link they can send to an admin to complete the install.

## Reasoning and approvals

When Corunner is working on something, it streams its reasoning back in the thread so you can follow the logic. If the action touches a production system, a customer, or a person, Corunner requests human approval before proceeding. You or anyone with permission can respond with Approve, Edit, or Reject right in the chat.
