# Channels

> Message Doe from the web, Slack, email, or text

Doe works where you already work. Start a task from the web app, Slack, email, or a text message, and every conversation lands in the same workspace: sessions appear in your sidebar (filterable by Web, Slack, Email, and Phone), files land in your Library, and you can open any session on the web to continue it.

Manage every channel from **Settings -> Channels**.

| Channel                | How it works                                              | Availability                        |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Web app                | Message Doe from the workspace chat                       | Built in                            |
| Email                  | Your own Doe email address for sending and receiving work | Pro and Enterprise                  |
| iMessage / SMS / Voice | Connect your phone and text Doe directly                  | Pro and Enterprise, where available |
| Slack                  | Mention or DM Doe in your Slack workspace                 | Pro and Enterprise                  |
| Custom channels        | Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, or internal tools              | Enterprise, contact us              |

## Email

Set up a personal Doe email address in **Settings -> Channels**, such as `you@agent.doe.so`. Then delegate work the way you already delegate by email:

```text theme={null}
To: you@agent.doe.so
Subject: Board prep

Attached is the Q2 export. Clean it up, build the variance summary,
and send back a workbook I can forward.
```

* **Doe replies in the same thread**, and each email thread maps to one session you can also open on the web.
* **Attachments work both ways.** Files you send are stored and indexed like Library uploads, and generated files come back as real email attachments.
* **CC workflows are supported.** With multiple participants on a thread, Doe replies to all; external participants' messages are treated as context, and Doe only acts when you are on the thread.
* **Workspace inbox.** Admins can also set up a shared workspace address for team-wide use.
* Where enabled, you can customize the address and the sender name.

Email is protected by sender verification: only verified members of your organization can trigger work, a personal address responds only to its owner, and automated mail is ignored.

## Text Doe: iMessage and SMS

Where available for your workspace, connect your phone number in **Settings -> Channels** and Doe introduces itself with a text and a contact card. From then on, text Doe anything: questions, tasks, photos, or files.

You can also start from your phone: text Doe's number and it replies with a secure link to connect your account.

* **Group chats:** add Doe to a group and it stays quiet until someone tags **@Doe** or replies to one of its messages. Only members who have linked their own number can give Doe work.
* **Media:** send images and files by text; Doe can text files back.
* Every text conversation is a session you can pick up on the web under the Phone filter.

## Slack

An admin installs the Doe app from **Settings -> Channels**. Doe links teammates automatically by matching their Slack email to their Doe account, so most people can just start talking to it.

* Mention **@Doe** in any channel or send it a DM.
* Reply in the same thread to continue the work with context.
* Attach files in Slack; charts render natively in Slack instead of arriving as images.
* Forward a message to Doe and it reads the original text, author, and channel.
* Links Doe sends in Slack deep-link into the web app, opening the exact file, page, or activity they reference.
* Doe's App Home shows your recent sessions with links back to the web workspace.

On Enterprise plans, teams can run Doe in Slack under their own custom app name, icon, and credentials.

See [Integrations](/essentials/integrations#slack-channel-tasks) for more Slack task patterns.

## One Workspace Behind Every Channel

However a conversation starts, it is the same Doe underneath: your connected apps, Library, memory, and permissions all apply. Replies are delivered back on the channel where the work started, and the full session, including activity, sources, and generated files, is always available on the web.

<Tip>
  Recurring work started on any channel can become a Loop. Text Doe a task once, then ask for it every weekday at 8am.
