{% hint style="info" %}
The GovTribe Slack app provides a channel for you to get instant notifications when data in your pursuits change. Whether it is a change made by someone in your company, or a change made by the publishing agency, you will be immediately notified what that change takes place, along with what was actually changed.
{% endhint %}

### Activating the App

Activation of the Slack app can only be completed by the Account Owner. On the Account page, you will see the Slack Integration option.

When you click on the "Add To Slack" button, you will be redirected to a Slack authorization page. There, you will authorize the addition of the app to your workspace, and select the channel to which your notifications will be sent.

Once you select your channel and click on "Allow", you will be redirected back to the Account page, which will show a success message, and a badge indicating that Slack integration is active.
