## Overview <a href="#h_676ece4bc1" id="h_676ece4bc1"></a>

Arnica's Slack bot feature creates a connection between Arnica, Slack, and your integrated source code management systems providing users with a streamlined process for requesting access and receiving Arnica event alerts.\\

## Integrating with Slack <a href="#h_eeebdf0783" id="h_eeebdf0783"></a>

The Slack integration can be setup within the [Integrations page](https://app.arnica.io/#/admin/integrations) in the Admin section.\
After beginning the integration, access must be permitted to allow Arnica to communicate with Slack.
