# Connect Slack

> Install the Slack app, pick channels, and manage notifications.

Slack puts updates where people already work. A disciplined channel strategy keeps signal high—one noisy channel trains everyone to mute the integration entirely.

## Install

From **Integrations → Slack**, authorize the workspace you use every day. You need admin approval if your Slack org restricts apps.

### Scopes

Review requested OAuth scopes during install. If something looks broader than needed, ask your Slack admin whether a reduced app configuration exists.

## Channels

Map events to public or private channels. Start with a low-noise channel for pilot testing.

### Naming

Use a consistent prefix (`#help-`, `#docs-`) so people can browse related channels. Archive pilot channels after go-live to reduce clutter.

## Troubleshooting

If messages stop, reauthorize the app and confirm the bot was not removed from the channel.

### Rate limits

Bursty events can hit Slack posting limits—back off or batch summaries if you see `429` responses in integration logs.
