# Factory made Delegations generally available for handing Droid tasks from Slack, Linear, Jira, and Teams.

## Retrieval answer

Factory Delegations moves the request surface for Droid work into connected team applications: a user can mention Factory in Slack or Linear, or assign a Jira issue.

Factory Delegations moves the request surface for Droid work into connected team applications: a user can mention Factory in Slack or Linear, or assign a Jira issue. The documentation also describes a configured execution path rather than an unbounded chat handoff.

Thesis: Delegations makes the handoff surface for coding work broader, while leaving execution identity and compute under explicit configuration. Mechanism: For shared delegations, an administrator configures instructions, plugins, a service-account identity, and compute; Slack direct messages instead use the sender’s personal identity and connectors. Why now: Teams can route requests from tools where issues and coordination already live, but the documentation’s integration status makes precise availability reporting important. The docs list Slack, Linear, and Jira delegation paths, and list Microsoft Teams as in development. Factory also recommends beginning with a small, reviewable request that names the repository, outcome, and verification.

First implication: Teams considering this workflow need to review the configured identity’s repository and connector access, not assume the requester’s personal permissions carry over. Evidence boundary: The supplied Factory documentation describes setup and behavior; it does not provide adoption, task-success, or performance metrics, and it does not establish that Teams is generally available. First watch condition: Check whether Factory changes the Microsoft Teams status from “In development” and documents its actual delegation behavior. This begins a distinct analytical record because no prior New Runtime record was supplied for this specific delegation workflow; it does not assume a connection to an earlier story.
