# Overview

> Connect communication apps so Hacktron can send security notifications to your team.

Communication Apps let Hacktron send security updates into the team channels where remediation work is coordinated.

Use this page after [connecting a Git provider](/platform/repositories) and enabling repositories. Communication app connections are managed from **Integrations** and are available to organization admins.

## Prerequisites

You need to be a Hacktron organization admin to manage the communication app integration.

You also need permission to authorize apps in the communication app you want Hacktron to use.

## Configure communication apps
