## What is the Slack integration?

The Slack integration delivers Prizm alert notifications directly to Slack channels, giving data teams real-time visibility into data quality issues in the place where they already collaborate. When an alert fires in Prizm, a formatted message is posted to the configured channel — including asset name, metric, deviation, priority, and a direct link to the alert — so teams can triage and respond without switching tools.

Prizm connects to Slack via OAuth — no webhook URLs or bot tokens need to be entered manually.

### What this integration enables

| Capability                    | Description                                                                                    |
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Real-time alert notifications | Alert messages are posted to Slack as soon as Prizm fires the alert.                           |
| OAuth authentication          | Connect via Slack OAuth — no webhook URLs or bot tokens required.                              |
| Per-rule channel routing      | Configure different channels for different alert rules or asset groups.                        |
| Rich notification content     | Each message includes asset name, metric, deviation, priority badge, and a View in Prizm link. |
| Multiple workspace support    | Connect more than one Slack workspace if your organization uses multiple workspaces.           |

<Tip>
  Create a dedicated `#data-quality-alerts` channel as the default destination for all Prizm notifications, and use per-rule channel overrides for high-priority or team-specific assets. This gives your data platform team a single place to monitor all quality signals while keeping individual teams informed through their own channels.
