# Email & Slack

> Talk to your agent from your inbox or Slack

You don't have to be in camelAI to talk to your agent. Send an email or a Slack
message — it reads, responds, and takes action on your workspace, just like a
normal chat.

<Note>
  This page is about talking *to* the agent over email. To send email *from* your apps
  and workflows, connect [Resend](/getting-started/partners/resend).

    ## Workspace email

    Every workspace gets a unique email address like:

    ```
    bright-mountain-river@camelai.dev
    ```

    Any workspace member can email this address to start or continue a conversation
    with the agent — directly from their inbox, without opening camelAI.

    ### How it works

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Find your workspace email">
        Go to **Settings → General** in your workspace, or just ask the agent:
        "What's this workspace's email address?"
      </Step>

      <Step title="Send an email">
        Email the workspace address from your work email. Write your request in the
        body — the agent processes it as a chat message.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Get a reply">
        The agent reads your email, takes action in your workspace, and replies to
        your email thread. Reply back to continue the conversation.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ### Details

    * **Threading** — standard email threading keeps conversations organized in your
      email client. Replies continue the same camelAI chat thread.
    * **Attachments** — file attachments are automatically uploaded to your workspace.
      The agent can read and use them immediately.
    * **Members only** — only workspace members can email the inbox. Emails from
      non-members are ignored (this is also the spam prevention mechanism).

    ## Slack integration

    Connect Slack to your workspace and message the agent directly from your team's
    Slack.

    ### Setup

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Add the Slack connection">
        Go to **Settings → Connections** and add the Slack integration, or ask the
        agent to set it up.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Authenticate via OAuth">
        Sign in to your Slack workspace and authorize the camelAI bot.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Start chatting">
        DM the camelAI bot or mention it in a channel. The agent responds in-thread.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ### Details

    * **Full agent turns** — Slack messages are processed the same as web chat messages.
      The agent can read files, run code, query databases, and take any action it could
      take from the web app.
    * **Thread continuity** — conversations are maintained across messages in the same
      Slack thread.

    <Note>
      The Slack integration is **inbound-only** — the agent responds to your messages
      but doesn't proactively send messages to Slack. For automated Slack posting, use
      a [cron job](/features/cron-jobs) with a Slack connection.

<Tip>
  Email and Slack are great for quick asks without context-switching — "what were
  yesterday's numbers?" or "update the landing page copy to mention the sale."
