# Slack Send

Slack Send posts a message to a Slack channel during a run. Use it to notify a team when a Flow reaches a milestone or when a [Value](/values/value-store.md) should appear in Slack for quick review.

## When to use it

* Alert a channel when a long regression pack completes a critical section.
* Send an order ID or run reference pulled from the Value Store after a checkout Flow.
* Place the step after the data you need has been stored by an earlier Data or API step.
