# Slack

To receive alert notifications from seedata into any Slack channel you choose, you'll need to create a slack app, and provide us with the associated webhook url.

## Step 1: Create Slack Application in Slack

You should follow the steps on slack's website to create a new webhook application while logged into your slack account, here: <https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks>. In summary, this will ask you to do the following

1. Go to <https://api.slack.com/apps/new>
2. Click "Create New App" and then "From Scratch"
3. Give it a name (we suggest "seedata-io") and select the desired slack workspace, then click "Create app"
4. In the next page, under "Add features and functionality" select "Incoming Webhooks" then set "Activate Incoming Webhooks" to "On"
5. Click "Add New Webhook to Workspace" , then select the channel you want.
6. Copy the webhook

## Step 2: Create Slack Alert Integration in seedata.io

This is where you'll configure seedata.io to use the slack application you've just used

1. Go to <https://app.seedata.io/settings/alerts>
2. Click Add New and set TYPE to "Slack"
3. Give this integration a name and description so you know why you have created it
4. Select the priorities of events you want to be sent to this Slack channel (more info here; [Events](/features/events.md))
5. Paste in the previously copied webhook URL
6. We provide a default template for the message that will be sent. You're free to change this, by adding any free text you wish along with any seedata.io variables. There's even a handy "Reset Template" button if you want to restore our default template at any time.
7. Hit Save
