# Updating Your App Permissions

If Threadly shows an Authorize or Update Permissions banner, it needs Slack access to send messages or to use newer features. Fix it in seconds without losing any messages, Segments or workflows.

To send messages to your channels (including private ones), track reactions and clicks, and power newer features like workflow triggers and meeting schedulers, Threadly needs certain Slack permissions.

You'll be prompted when something is missing:

* **Action Required: Authorize Threadly** on the Home tab. You haven't authorized your own account yet.
* **Heads up! Threadly cannot send messages or track real-time action data until you update your app permissions** in the message editor
* **New Features Available: Update Permissions** when newer features need extra access
* **Oops! Threadly needs additional permissions** on Segment screens

## Fix it

1. Click **Authorize Threadly** or **Update Permissions** in the banner.
2. Review the permissions in Slack and click **Allow**.
3. Go back to Threadly's Home tab. The banner disappears once everything is up to date.

This takes a few seconds and doesn't affect your existing messages, Segments or workflows. If the banner doesn't go away, your workspace may require admin approval for app changes. Ask your Slack admin to approve Threadly's request.

**Threadly respects your privacy. Your channel content is never saved on Threadly's servers, other than Threadly's own messages, which are kept for analytics and tracking.**
