# Slackbot

Slackbot gives agents workspace-wide read access to a Slack workspace on behalf of the installing user - search messages and files, browse channel and thread history, and look up users and channels - while continuing to post and react as the bot. Includes direct messages and user email addresses so agents can search across DMs and resolve users by email.
