# Configuring Slack App

## Overview

---

> [!WARNING]
> **Important:** Before enabling Slack, an Encodify administrator must first ensure that it’s enabled within your infrastructure.

To configure a Notification Rule using the Microsoft Teams channel, three key steps must be completed:

1. **Slack App** – Create and configure the app, which acts as the bridge between your system and Slack. This step is covered in detail in this article.
2. [**Slack Connected Service**](/v1/docs/slack-connected-service) – Set up the connected service to allow secure communication between your system and the Slack app.
3. [**Notification Rule Configuration**](/v1/docs/configuring-a-notification-rule) – Configure the rule for the relevant trigger, specifying recipients, channels, and message content so notifications are sent automatically when the event occurs.

1. Enter the **app manifest** in either YAML or JSON format.
  1. Follow Slack’s documentation to obtain the correct configuration files.
2. Click **Next → Create** to finish app creation.

After the app is created, take careful note of the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**, as they are required to complete the [Slack Connected Service](/v1/docs/slack-connected-service).
