# Devin's Slack Etiquette | Devin

Devin can now spin up dedicated Slack channels for large tasks, providing an expanded interface with status chips, context tracking, and session artifacts.

- Code channels automatically port sessions to dedicated spaces when tasks grow too large for standard Slack threads, or via the !new command.
- A triage agent runs on watched channels to determine whether incoming messages represent new issues, existing tracked problems, or non-actionable chatter.
- Hard-coded override phrases like 'be quiet' or 'stop' immediately mute Devin until it is explicitly mentioned again.
- Devin uses emoji reactions like 👀 to signal task pickup instead of sending text status updates, and parses user emoji reactions as feedback.

## Why it matters

Engineers collaborating with Devin in Slack get dedicated workspace channels for complex tasks without overwhelming main channel threads.
