# 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.
