# Adding Threadly to Your Channels
In order to function properly in your workspace, Threadly needs to be a member of your channels!
There are a few ways to ensure this:
Manually in a channel
To manually add the Threadly bot to the channel, you can:
1\. In the channel, type `@Threadly`.
2\. Send the message.
3\. Slackbot will send a message to help invite the bot to the channel.
4\. Click Invite.
Conversation Groups
After you manually select channel(s) to add to a Conversation Group, Threadly will check if the bot has access to the channel. If it doesn't have the necessary access, you'll be prompted with a button that can automatically add the bot to the channel for you.
Message Editor
After you manually select channel(s) to send your message, Threadly will check if the bot has access to the channel. If it doesn't have the necessary access, you'll be prompted with a button that can automatically add the bot to the channel for you.
