# Slack

You can integrate Aporia with Slack to receive alerts and notifications directly to your Slack workspace.

Integrations can be found in the "Integrations" page, accessible through the sidebar:

### Setting up the Slack Integration

After clicking the Slack integration, you will be redirected to Slack, where you will need to allow Aporia to post to a channel in your Slack workspace:

![Authorize Slack Integration](/files/CBeANiEfgUdFC6zHwjLx)

Choosing a channel will redirect you back to Aporia:

You can then send a test message, or remove the integration, through the Slack integration page:

### Sending Alerts to Slack

After setting up the Slack integration, you can configure monitors to send a message to your chosen slack channel when an anomaly is detected:

### Tagging Users in Slack

You can easily tag users in the Slack notifications using an alert's custom description.

Get the user id from Slack:

![Get Slack User ID](/files/gDL3Ur50jspAGggTG7rU)

Insert it in the custom description: 

<figure><img src="/files/cAAGTfjseow1dYGR7vfc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The user tag should be in the form of `<@user_id>`

Save the monitor.

Now, whenever you receive a Slack alert, the user will be tagged in the message:
