# Slack

## Slack

August 8, 2026

* Replying to a running session now steers that session instead of starting a
  second one. Previously a mid-task correction raced its own original, and both
  runs answered.
* Added live session activity in the thread. A running session now names what it
  is working on as it goes, and finishes as a plain answer with a link to the
  session. Requires a paid Slack plan.
* Simplified how Ara talks in Slack: no status badges or button rows, just a
  sentence, the answer, and a link to the session.
* Fixed the sender details on Slack-started sessions. A session opened from Slack
  now records the name, email, and avatar of the person who asked for it, instead
  of leaving them blank.
* Fixed the channel name shown on Slack-started sessions, which previously fell
  back to no channel at all.

* Bound each connected Slack team to one Ara workspace.
* Added sessions from channels and threads by mentioning `@Ara`.
* Kept follow-up replies and session progress in the same Slack thread.
* Linked Slack-origin session messages back to their exact channel message.

Open **Plugins** in your Ara workspace to connect Slack.
