You can also open the more options menu (**...**) and select **Edit**. Agents page showing a list of available Agents In your Agent's settings, click the **Deployments** tab.

Send a message to begin a conversation. Each thread is a separate conversation. * **Channel mentions** — in any channel, @ mention the Agent by its display name. Slack prompts you to invite the app to the channel on first mention. Once added, the Agent responds to messages based on the response mode you configured. You can send images and files to the Agent in Slack just like you do when [chatting with Agents](/guides/chatting-with-an-agent) on Cassidy.

Let users interact with your Agent by sending and receiving emails. Automate actions when messages arrive in Slack channels.
