# Slack

This page documents Slack options under **Settings → Notifications**. For the full Slack story, including why to connect it and how it fits with CI, see [Integrations → Slack](/platform/integrations/slack.md).

Connect Slack under **Settings → Integrations** before you create the notification rule.
