In this guide, we&#8217;ll look at the requirements, the four official setup steps, access rights, memory, and example queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Current as of June 24, 2026.<\/strong> Claude Tag is in public beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers. The interface, availability, and terms may change, so check the <a href=\"https:\/\/claude.com\/docs\/claude-tag\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official documentation<\/a> before deployment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Claude Tag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On June 23, 2026, Anthropic introduced Claude Tag, a team-oriented way to work with Claude that launched in Slack. Unlike an individual chat, the assistant operates under a separate agent identity, can access only selected channels and tools, and keeps its work visible in the shared thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone in a connected channel can invoke the assistant with <code>@Claude<\/code>. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/claude.com\/product\/tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">product page<\/a>, Claude can analyze long discussions, create documents and tickets, retrieve metrics, monitor channels, run long tasks, and return with results later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cifrum.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/claude-tag-overview-en.png\" alt=\"Diagram of Claude Tag working in a Slack channel with connected tools\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A channel member mentions <code>@Claude<\/code>; the assistant uses approved tools and responds in the shared thread.

Installing the Slack application is only a precondition: after it you need to link the workspace, create an Access bundle and launch the agent identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Set Up Claude Tag: Four Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cifrum.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/claude-tag-setup-en.png\" alt=\"Four steps for setting up Claude Tag in Slack\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The official setup flow: pair Slack, create an Access bundle, set a spending limit, then launch and test.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Link your Slack workspace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open Claude Tag Admin Settings and click <strong>Set up<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Follow the link <strong>Install Claude for Slack<\/strong> and confirm permissions in the Slack Marketplace.<\/li><li>In any channel of the desired workspace, send:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@Claude connect<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The command can only be executed by a Slack administrator. Claude will return a pairing code that is valid for 15 minutes. Paste it into Claude Admin Settings and select the entire workspace or specific channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Create an Access bundle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Access bundle is a named set of service credentials, allowed repositories, plugins, and instructions. Connect only the systems needed for the selected channels. Anthropic recommends using service accounts rather than personal employee logins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GitHub is connected separately through the Claude GitHub App after initial setup. Without external connections, Claude will be able to read and post messages to allowed Slack channels, but will not have access to the CRM, data warehouse, or repositories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Set a spending limit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work in channels is paid from the organization\u2019s balance, and not from the user\u2019s individual subscription. Ready-made limits and a custom amount are available in the setup wizard. Direct messages work through Claude&#8217;s personal account and are not included in this channel limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Test and Run<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leave the switch on <strong>Turn on Claude Tag<\/strong> and press <strong>Launch Claude<\/strong>. Then invite Claude to the private pilot channel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>\/invite @Claude<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To check the connection, use a secure request that does not require external tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@Claude summarize this channel<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Status <em>is thinking\u2026<\/em> means the application is receiving messages. A complete response confirms that the workspace is linked and the channel is running on the new version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example requests to @Claude<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are examples of natural language, not strict syntax. The result depends on the allowed tools and data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@Claude pull last week's key product metrics, compare them with\nthe previous week, and post a concise table in this thread.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@Claude review the linked support ticket, identify likely causes,\nand list the missing data needed to verify each hypothesis.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@Claude find the discount calculation code in the connected repository,\nexplain the negative value, and prepare a draft pull request.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@Claude every Monday at 09:00, post an open-task summary in this channel\nand flag threads that have had no reply for more than two days.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cifrum.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/claude-tag-digest-en.webp\" alt=\"Official example of a scheduled Claude Tag summary in Slack\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Official example of a scheduled sales summary in Slack.

Before connecting a CRM, repository or data warehouse, conduct a separate permission check and use the principle of least necessary access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to switch from old Claude to Slack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Claude Tag replaces the previous custom integration, but the existing Slack app and name <code>@Claude<\/code> are saved. Personal connections do not automatically transition to the new agent identity: repositories and external services must be reassigned via the Access bundle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current documentation does not indicate a universal 30-day period. The Legacy version is being decommissioned, and the switchover date for a specific organization should be confirmed with the account team. Details are published in the instructions <a href=\"https:\/\/claude.com\/docs\/claude-tag\/admins\/migrate-from-earlier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Migrate from the earlier Claude in Slack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can use Claude Tag?<\/h3>\n\n<p>At launch, the public beta is available to Claude Enterprise and Team organizations on Slack.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can complete the setup?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Owner of the organization Claude. You also need a Slack workspace administrator to install and pair.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Claude Tag run on a schedule?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Yes. You can create routines, monitor a channel, and run tasks based on a schedule or event.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Claude see external systems immediately after installation?<\/h3>\n\n<p>No. By default there is no external access. The owner of the organization separately adds connections and allowed areas through the Access bundle.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Claude Tag is useful not only as a chatbot, but as a general agent with controlled identity, channel memory and access to working tools. Safe launch starts with a private pilot, minimum permissions, service accounts and a small spending limit. Once verified, you can gradually expand access for individual teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Official interface images belong to Anthropic and are used for informational purposes with credit given.
