# Slack Integration: Incident Notifications

> Connect Slack to Corelayer to receive real-time incident notifications and completed root-cause summaries in the channels your on-call team already watches.

## Prerequisites

* A Slack workspace
* Permission to install apps in your Slack workspace

## Step-by-Step Setup

### 1. Navigate to Integrations

In your Corelayer dashboard, go to the **Integrations** page.

### 2. Add Slack Integration

Click the **Add Integration** button and select **Slack** from the list of available integrations. Click **Connect to Slack**.

### 3. Authorize Slack Connection

You'll be redirected to Slack's OAuth authorization page:

1. Select the workspace you want to connect
2. Review the permissions Corelayer is requesting
3. Click **Allow** to grant access

### 4. Verify Connection

Once redirected back to Corelayer, your Slack integration should appear as **Connected** in the integrations dashboard.

### 5. Configure Channels

Select which Slack channels Corelayer should send notifications to:

* Choose existing channels from the dropdown
* Configure notification preferences per channel

## What Corelayer Can Do With Slack

Once connected, Corelayer will:

* Send real-time notifications when issues are detected
* Post debugging summaries and root-cause analysis to your channels
* Deliver digest messages with aggregated issue reports
* Create scheduled tasks from Slack, including recurring checks and one-shot reminders
* Route notifications to the channels you configured

## Scheduled Tasks From Slack

You can ask Corelayer in Slack to run a task on a schedule and post the result back to the same channel.

Examples:

* "Every weekday at 9am, post a summary of open critical issues"
* "Every hour, check whether new high-severity issues appeared"
* "Remind me in 20 minutes to check this issue again"

Corelayer supports recurring schedules, fixed intervals, and one-shot reminders. If your request uses a local time, include the timezone so Corelayer can schedule it correctly.

Scheduled runs are read-only: they can investigate, summarize, and report back to Slack, but they cannot change settings or create additional scheduled tasks.

## Managing Your Integration

### Disconnecting

To disconnect your Slack integration:

1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations
2. Find your Slack integration and click **Uninstall**
3. Confirm the uninstallation
4. Optionally, remove the Corelayer app from your Slack workspace settings

## Troubleshooting

### Integration Not Working?

* Verify the Corelayer app is installed in your Slack workspace
* Ensure the bot has been invited to the channels you've configured
* Check that your Slack workspace permissions allow third-party app installations
* Try reinstalling the integration if notifications are not appearing
