# Slack

> Receive Oso alert notifications in Slack.

Connect Oso to Slack to receive alert notifications in a channel of your choice. Each notification links directly to the alert details page in Oso for investigation.

## Prerequisites

* An Oso for Agents account with at least one [alert](/oso-for-agents/alerts) configured
* Permission to add apps to your Slack workspace (or a workspace admin who can approve it)

## Connect Slack

1. In Oso, go to **Settings** and click the **Integrations** tab.

2. Click **Connect** next to Slack.

2. Click **Allow**.

3. On the next Alert the configured channel should receive a slack message.

## What a notification looks like

Each Slack notification includes:

* **What was detected** — the alert type
* **Who was involved** — the agent, user, or device
