# Slack
To receive notifications on Slack, you first have to set up incoming webhooks on Slack as described [here](https://slack.com/help/articles/115005265063-Incoming-webhooks-for-Slack).
### Create a new Slack app
Select the workspace in which you prefer to receive notifications.
In the menu “Basic Information”, select Incoming Webhooks.
Toggle "**Activate Incoming Webhooks**"
Click on “**Add new webhook to Workspace**” and grant permission to access your Slack workspace
Note: notifications can be received either in a channel or as a direct message
Once the access is granted, you can copy the webhook URL and insert it into the Slack integration window in the workflow.
The new alert is now ready.
