# Adding Arnica to a New Channel

To give Arnica visibility into specific Slack channels, you'll need to invite the Arnica bot to each relevant channel. To do this, simply tag the bot using the `@arnica` command:

Then, click on the Arnica app and press **Enter**. A dialog will appear asking for permission to add the Arnica bot to the channel. Click **Add to Channel** to proceed:

You can now configure policies to have Arnica send alerts to this channel, more information can be found [here](/arnica-documentation/code-risks/code-risk-policy-settings.md).
