# Slack Integration

Hi, and welcome to another evalink tutorial! 

In this tutorial, we will add and set up the **Slack Integration** into your evalink talos account.

 The `Slack integration` for evalink talos will convert alarms and events into Slack channel notifications automatically. To configure it in evalink talos, you need to have permissions to create a Slack App on your Slack workspace.

*  On the left menu, go to `Company`, then click on the tab `Integrations`.
*  Search for **Slack** and add the integration to your evalink talos account by clicking on `Add Integration`.
*  In the window that will pop up now, you will be asked to enter a “Default Slack WebHook”. You can find this webhook in your app’s Features page, which will appear upon the app’s creation.
*  Copy the Webhook-URL and paste it into “Default Slack WebHook” in evalink talos.
*  evalink talos will generally just send critical notifications via this channel. If you check the box “Send all alarms”, it will send all alarms as well.
*  Clicking on the `+` will allow you to add additional Slack Endpoints, which we can disregard for this tutorial.
*  Click `Submit`to finish the configuration.

  To be able to actually receive Slack notifications for a site, we still need to use the Slack integration on a workflow created for this site.

* Navigate to the Menu `Sites`, pick the site to configure and click on the tab `Workflows`. In the workflow editor, you can now see the automated action `Send a Slack Message`. By doing that, you can send a slack message into the Slack channel of your choice, based on your Slack app’s configuration.
*  For this tutorial, we will send the message: “Alarm. This is a test message to Slack” for testing purposes.

 And, that’s it!

Now, you have the ability to send Slack messages to the connected Slack channel of  your choice as a step within a workflow.
