Accept a Slack Connect channel invitation

Slack Connect makes it possible to work alongside people from other companies in the same Slack channel. If you’ve been invited to join another organisation’s channel, learn how to accept an invitation. 

Note: Owners and admins can restrict who can accept invitations. If you’re unable to accept one, find an owner or admin and ask for help.

View and accept an invitation

If multiple people from your organisation have received an invitation for the same channel, only one person needs to accept it. If your workspace isn’t using a paid Slack subscription, you may see the option to upgrade your workspace or start a free trial.
