# Slack integration

Alerts & Notifications actions

You can integrate your HUMAN platform with **Slack** to automate notifications when HUMAN detects incidents. You can use the Slack integration to create an [alerts and notifications action.](/applications/alerts-notifications-actions)

## Prerequisites

* An existing **Slack** account to authenticate with.
* A custom **Slack app.** See Slack's [quickstart guide](https://api.slack.com/quickstart) to learn how to create one.
* A **Slack Bot User OAuth Token** taken from the Slack app you create.
* Appropriate [role permissions](/applications/role-permissions) to create and manage integrations

## Integrate with Slack

1. Navigate to **Platform Settings > Integrations** and click the **Slack** integration.
2. Click **Add Integration.**
3. Provide the following:
   * **Integration name:** How the integration will appear in your HUMAN account.
   * **Authentication method:** Select the authentication method for sending data.
     * If you select **Web application firewall (WAF),** also provide allowed IPs.
   * **Token:** Your Slack Bot User OAuth Token.
   * **Testing channel:** A Slack channel to send test messages to.
4. Click **Test Connection.**
5. Once the test succeeds, click **Save changes.**

You have successfully configured a Slack integration. Make sure to use the integration in an [alerts and notifications action ](/applications/alerts-notifications-actions) to trigger it.
