# Manage Slack integration

> Manage Slack integration in Sigma to send notifications, schedule alerts, and export workbook data to Slack channels.

Sigma's integration for Slack enables the members of your organization to send and schedule Sigma notifications for any channel in your connected Slack account. It also enables workbooks actions that notify users and export data to Slack.

## System and user requirements

* To add the Slack integration in Sigma, you must be assigned the **Admin** [account type](/docs/create-and-manage-account-types).

## Set up Slack integration

You can connect one or more Sigma organizations to the same Slack workspace.

To set up a Slack integration:

1. Open the Administration portal by selecting **Administration** in the user menu at the top right of your screen.
2. Open the **Scheduled exports and actions** page, and select the **Settings** tab.
3. At the right of the Integration for Slack entry, click **Add**.
4. The process redirects you to Slack, to authorize the integration.
5. Click **Allow** to complete the integration.
6. To test the integration, try [sending or scheduling a notification](/docs/export-to-slack).

> **Tip**
>
> To connect multiple Sigma organizations to the same Slack workspace, repeat the steps above for each Sigma organization.

## Access and permissions

When you send or schedules a notification in Sigma, you can choose to include a link to the worksheet or dashboard in Sigma. Anyone who sees the notification in Slack must have a Sigma account with [access granted](/docs/data-permissions-overview) to view it with full details inside Sigma.

## Activating Slack for users

After you enable an integration with Sigma, you can open a new channel from Slack.

Follow these steps.

1. Navigate to the [Sigma](https://sigmacomputing.slack.com/apps/AD36UV1PG) option in the Slack app directory.
2. Click **Open in Slack**.

3. The process redirects you to Sigma.

   You may have to authorize access, and choose the version of Slack you plan to use.
4. The direct Sigma channel now appears in your organization's Slack interface.

If you have multiple Sigma organizations connected to the same Slack workspace, notifications from each Sigma organization are all sent to the same Slack channel.

### Adding Sigma to a private Slack channel

To add Sigma notifications to a private Slack channel, follow these steps:

1. In the channel where you plan to add Sigma, start typing *@sigma*.

   The system finds the match, Sigma app. Note that it is not in channel at this time.

2. Select the Sigma app.
3. The Slackbot dialog prompts you to add Sigma to the channel.

   Click **Invite Them**.

4. The system confirms that the Sigma app is now in the private channel.
