About Augment for Slack

Augment for Slack brings the power of Augment Chat to your team’s Slack workspace. Mention @Augment in any channel or start a DM with Augment to have deep codebase-aware conversations with your team.

To protect your confidential information, Augment will not include repository context in responses when used in shared channels with external members.

Installing Augment for Slack

​

1. Install GitHub App

To enable Augment’s rich codebase-awareness, install the Augment GitHub App and grant access to your desired repositories. Organization owners and repository admins can install the app directly; others will need owner approval. See GitHub documentation for details.

We recommend authorizing only the few active repositories you want accessible to Augment Slack users. You can modify repository access anytime in the GitHub App settings.

​

2. Install Slack App

Once you have the GitHub App installed, install the Augment Slack App. You’ll need an Augment account and correct permissions to install Slack apps for your workspace.

Any workspace member can use the Slack app once installed. Contact us if you need to restrict access to specific channels or users.

​

3. Add Augment to the Slack Navigation Bar

Make Augment easily accessible by adding it to Slack’s assistant-view navigation bar:

1. Click your profile picture → Preferences → Navigation
2. Under App agents & assistants, select Augment

Note: Each user can customize this setting in their preferences.
