# Slack

We support Slack as an alerting destination. The alerting integration is automatically configured upon the [Enterprise+](/connectors/saas/slack/slack.md) connector setup and can be enabled by proceeding to step 2 below.

3. Ensure you have the correct tenant selected and displayed in the upper right hand of the Authentication page
4. Click **Allow** at the bottom of the page
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Add the App to Workspace**

In your App Admin page, add the Teleskope app to any workspaces you would target notifications.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the app doesn't appear and was installed as a connector, contact a Workspace owner.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Invite Bot**

Invite the bot (`/add`) to the target channel.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Setup Slack Notifications in Teleskope**

Navigate back to Policy Maker. When creating a new policy, you may now select "Send a Slack Message" as an action in step 4 and input the target channel ID.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is recommended to add Slack notifications after a policy has been created and the initial violations populated. A message is sent per violation, so ensure that policies are sufficiently scoped.
{% endhint %}
