#### Step 3: Use the agent You can trigger agent's by tagging them using @ActianAIAnalyst\ The agent will respond with reactions and as a reply to that message.\ Tagging the agent in a follow up to that thread will trigger a follow up task in the same conversation. Add `--plan` to your query to trigger Plan Mode. The previous `--deep` flag has been removed. *** ## Integration health & tokens ### Bot token vs user token When you connect Slack, an *org-level bot token* is created automatically. This allows the bot to post messages and join *public* channels without any additional setup. You (or any Studio admin) can also connect a *personal user token* by navigating to Connections > Slack and clicking "Connect". This walks you through an OAuth flow using your personal Slack account. The user token is required to invite the bot into *private* Slack channels — without it, the bot cannot access private channels. The user token is per-user, meaning each Studio admin can connect their own personal Slack account independently. ### Checking integration health On the Connections > Slack page, the integration health panel shows the current status of both the bot token and user token: * A green check indicates the token is valid and working. * A red X indicates the token is invalid or has been revoked. Use the refresh button to re-test the tokens at any time. If a token is shown as invalid, click "Reconnect" to go through the OAuth flow again and restore the connection. ### Disconnecting The "Disconnect" button on the Connections > Slack page removes the org's Slack integration entirely. Once disconnected, any agents that were connected to Slack channels will stop responding to messages. *** That's it! You're ready to use Actian AI Analyst's AI agents in Slack. Need support?
