# Slack
## Slack + Multitudes Integration Benefits
Multitudes can proactively send you notifications to help you improve performance, collaboration, and wellbeing, in your existing workflow. [View available Slack notifications. ](/knowledge-base/types-of-notifications.md)
## How it works
We have both team and personal Slack Notifications. Once Multitudes has been enabled in your organization's Slack workspace, teams can set up their own channel notifications (e.g. ad hoc [PR updates](/knowledge-base/types-of-notifications/pr-updates.md), the daily [Work Digest](/knowledge-base/types-of-notifications/work-digest.md), and more) and individuals can enable personal notifications.
## Requirements
Different organizations have different permissions required to install apps to a Slack workspace. If your workspace requires "[app approval](https://slack.com/intl/en-nz/help/articles/222386767-Manage-app-approval-for-your-workspace)" you will need a Slack Workspace Owner to install or approve the Multitudes integration.
## **How to install**
Choose whether you need to set up Slack for your organization or for you as an individual – jump to the relevant instructions:
* [Slack organization setup](#slack-organization-setup) – to receive team notifications in shared channels
* [Slack individual setup](#for-personal-pr-updates) – to receive Multitudes notifications to yourself via DM
Note that you can also set up notifications [from the My Insights page](#from-the-my-insights-page) – instructions below.
