# Slack

> Connect Slack and configure where Hacktron sends security notifications.

## Prerequisites

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

You also need permission to authorize apps in the Slack workspace you want Hacktron to use.

## Configure Slack

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations page">
    In Hacktron, go to **Integrations** and find **Slack** under
    **Communication Apps**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the OAuth connection">
    Click **Connect**. Your browser will redirect to Slack.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Hacktron">
    Sign in to Slack if required, choose the workspace, and approve the
    requested access.

    <Info>
      Hacktron uses this access to send security notifications and scan updates
      to the Slack channel you configure.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to Hacktron">
    After authorization, Hacktron redirects you back to **Integrations**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Slack configuration">
    Click the settings icon on the Slack card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a notification channel">
    Select the Slack channel that should receive Hacktron scan updates. The
    setting saves when you choose a different channel.

  </Step>
</Steps>

## Updating the channel

Open the Slack settings panel again and choose a different channel. Hacktron removes the previous channel configuration and saves the new one.

## Disconnecting Slack

Open the Slack card in **Integrations** and choose **Disconnect**. Hacktron will stop sending notifications and alerts to Slack.

## Common checks

* If Slack does not connect, retry from **Integrations** so Hacktron can create a fresh OAuth state.
* If a channel is missing, confirm that the Slack workspace account used for OAuth can access that channel.
* If notifications are not appearing, confirm that the Slack integration is connected and a channel is selected.
