# Slack authorization

> Reply as yourself in Slack—no bots, no branding gaps.

Thena's Slack authorization makes your customer communication smoother, more human, and completely seamless—no bots, no branding gaps, just you, replying from Thena directly as yourself in Slack.

## ✅ What is Slack authorization?

Slack authorization allows you to link your personal Slack profile with Thena. Once authorized, all replies sent from Thena appear as you in Slack—no more whitelabeled bots or confusion for the recipient. This ensures conversations maintain their native feel and authenticity for the person on the other end.

## 🧠 Why it matters

Without authorization, replies from Thena might appear through a bot or system user. With authorization, you:

## 🌍 Multi-workspace support

Thena supports complex setups too:

* Have multiple Slack workspaces across your teams? No problem.
