# Slack
How to connect Slack notifications to Multitudes
## 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., on-demand [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. See more about [our Notification types](/knowledge-base/types-of-notifications.md).
## 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 individual notifications via DM
For convenience, you can also set up notifications [from the My Insights page](#shortcut-to-notifications-settings-from-my-insights) – instructions below.
#### **Slack organization setup**
1. Go to [**Settings > Notifications > Team**](https://app.multitudes.co/team-settings/notifications?section=team)**.** Then click on **Connect your Slack organization**.
1. This will open a new window on your browser, at `[workspace-name].slack.com`.
2. Go through the Slack installation modal.
1. Make sure you’re installing on the correct workspace - you can change this in the dropdown on the top right corner.
2. Review the app permissions needed by Multitudes to access Slack.
3. Click “Allow” (or “Request approval” if your Slack organization has been set up to require approval from a workspace owner).
**Note: To get notifications in private channels**, you need to add the `Multitudes for Slack` app to those specific channels. You can do this by typing `@multitudes` in each private channel, or clicking on the private channel's name and going to `Integrations > Add apps`.
#### Slack individual setup
1. Go to [**Settings > Notifications > Personal**](https://app.multitudes.co/team-settings/notifications?section=personal). Then click on **Connect your Slack DMs**.
2\. Review the app permissions needed by Multitudes to access Slack. Then click **Allow**.
### **Shortcut to notifications settings from My Insights**
For convenience, the bell icons on the My Insights homepage will take you directly to the relevant Settings page for different Slack notifications. An empty bell means that notification type isn't active; a full bell means it is. The tooltip that appears will provide more detail.
To change the setup, click on the bell and then on the tooltip, or get the setup instructions for a specific notification by finding it in "[Explore our Slack notifications](#explore-our-slack-notifications)" below.
