## Permissions and Scopes
8484

8585
The Codegen Slack integration requires the following permissions to function effectively:
8686

87+
### Core Messaging Permissions
8788
- **View messages that mention @codegen** - To respond to direct mentions and requests
8889
- **Read message history in public and private channels** - To understand context and conversation flow
89-
- **Send messages and customize appearance** - To communicate and provide updates
90-
- **View and react with emojis** - To acknowledge messages and provide feedback
91-
- **Access shared files and attachments** - To review and work with shared content
92-
- **Read direct messages and group chats** - To enable private conversations with the agent
93-
- **View workspace members and email addresses** - To understand team structure and routing
90+
- **Read direct messages and group chats** (`mpim:read`) - To enable private conversations with the agent in group DMs and multi-person direct messages
91+
- **Send messages** - To communicate responses and provide updates
92+
93+
### Enhanced Communication Features
94+
- **View and react with emojis** - To acknowledge messages and provide feedback through reactions
95+
96+
### User and Workspace Access
97+
- **View workspace members and email addresses** (`users:read.email`) - Used to map Slack user accounts to Codegen accounts for proper authentication and permission management. This ensures that when a user interacts with Codegen via Slack, their actions are properly attributed to their Codegen account and repository permissions
98+
- **Access shared files and attachments** - To review and work with shared content like code snippets, images, and documents
9499
- **Access basic channel information** - To operate appropriately within different channel contexts
95100

101+
### Why These Permissions Are Necessary
102+
103+
- **Email mapping** enables secure account linking between Slack and Codegen, ensuring proper access control
104+
- **Group DM access** ensures Codegen can participate in team discussions and collaborative planning sessions

## Data Privacy and Security
97107

98108
**Message Content Handling:**
99109

100110
- **Third-Party LLM APIs:** To provide its core functionality, Codegen shares message content with third-party Large Language Model (LLM) APIs, specifically OpenAI and Anthropic.
101111
- **Data Retention:** Outside of the LLM API interactions, message content is retained by Codegen solely for the purpose of displaying it within the Codegen user interface.
102-
- **Metadata from Private Channels:** When messages from private Slack channels are processed, Codegen does not expose private metadata, such as the original author's name or username, in the Codegen web app.
112+
- **Metadata from Private Channels:** When messages from private Slack channels are processed, Codegen does not expose private metadata, such as the original author's name or username, in the Codegen web app. Private channel names are anonymized and displayed as "Private channel" to non-members.

**User Permissions and Access Control:**
105115

106116
Codegen's actions on connected repositories are governed by the permissions of the user who initiated the interaction via Slack. The bot itself does not have independent permissions to repositories. Access to repositories and the ability to trigger actions are determined by the Codegen user's authenticated account and their associated repository permissions. We recommend configuring channel access carefully during installation to ensure the Codegen integration for Slack is only present in channels where its use is appropriate.

## AI Components and Usage
123+
124+
**AI-Powered Functionality:**
125+
126+
Codegen uses artificial intelligence to provide intelligent code assistance, automated development tasks, and natural language interactions. Our AI capabilities include:
127+
128+
- **Code Generation and Analysis:** AI models analyze your codebase and generate appropriate code changes, bug fixes, and improvements
129+
- **Natural Language Processing:** AI interprets your requests in Slack and converts them into actionable development tasks
130+
- **Context Understanding:** AI maintains conversation context to provide relevant and coherent responses across interactions
131+
132+
**AI Data Processing:**
133+
134+
- **Message Analysis:** Your Slack messages are processed by AI models to understand intent and generate appropriate responses
135+
- **Code Context:** When working with repositories, AI models analyze relevant code to provide accurate assistance
136+
137+
**AI Limitations:**
138+
139+
- AI-generated code should be reviewed before deployment
140+
- Complex tasks may require human oversight and validation
141+
- AI responses are based on training data and may not always reflect the most current information
142+
143+
## Pricing and Plans
144+
145+
Codegen offers flexible pricing plans to accommodate teams of all sizes. The Slack integration is available across all plan tiers, with usage limits and features varying by plan.
