## How subscribers connect Slack

Once enabled, subscribers will see an **Add to Slack** button in the **Subscribe to Updates** modal on your status page.

Clicking it takes them through a short OAuth flow to connect their Slack workspace:

Statuspal only requests the minimum permissions necessary and does not store personal information.

After authorising, subscribers choose the Slack channel where they'd like to receive updates. They can revisit the link at any time to change the channel or cancel their subscription.

## Sending notifications

When creating or updating an incident, check **Notify Slack subscribers** to send the update to all Slack subscribers.
