# Slack {% hint style="danger" %} Current limitation: all event notifications are sent to Slack and Teams from Kyso. There is no option (currently) to customise your own communications preferences. This is only possible for email communications. {% endhint %} Kyso can be integrated easily with Slack, which will receive notifications when something happens in your organization or channel, for example, when a new report is created, or a new comment is written, just follow these steps: ## 1. Create a Slack App Open Slack and choose the option **Apps**, under the menu *More.*

Click on **App Directory** button, located at the top right of your screen.

Then, click on **Build**, located at the top right of your screen.

Go to **Your Apps** in the top right of your screen, go to **Manage your apps** and click **Create an app**

Click **Create an app**

Select the option **From scratch**

Choose a **name** and select the desired **workspace**

Click on the section **Permissions.**

Scroll down until the section **Scopes** and add the scope **chat:write** to the **Bot Token Scopes.**

Scroll up to the top of the same page and click on the button **Install to Workspace.**

Copy the generated **Bot User OAuth Token** and save it for later use.

The Slack App configuration is finished, in the next section you will configure Kyso to use this Slack App. ## Configure Kyso Slack notifications can be configured at different levels: * **Organization level**. All the channels under an organization will *inherit* this configuration. That means, all the notifications related to that organization will use the same Slack channel. *Requires organization admin role*. * **Channel level**. Every channel can define their own slack notifications. If there is a configuration at organization level, that configuration will be *overwritten* by the channel configuration. Using this, you can define specific configuration per channel. Requires Full Access role. #### Configure Slack Notifications at Organization Level Login into Kyso, click on your avatar and select **Settings**.

Choose the desired organization in the left menu, select the tab **Notifications** and copy & paste the **Bot User OAuth Token** in the form *Slack Token*. Also, specify the **destination channel** in the input *Slack Channel*.

Open Slack, click on the **destination channel** and open the configuration by clicking on the title of the channel, at the top of the page.

Select the tab **Integrations** and click on the button **Add an App**.

Write the name of your app and click on the button **Add**.

Well done! Your organization is now configured with Slack, to test it out just create a new report in your organization and check that you are receiving the notifications in the configured channel at Slack.

## Configure Slack Notifications at the Channel Level The configuration process is exactly the same, but in the **Channel Configuration** page on your Kyso settings.

Take into account that the **slack token** only can be defined at the **Organization level**, for security reasons.
