# List joinable Slack channels

> `GET /v1/api/slack/channels/joinable` (admin). Public channels HQ is
NOT a member of - the ones the admin can self-join with one click.
Private channels are intentionally excluded: Slack forbids a bot from
self-joining them, so they need an `/invite @HQ` from a member.
