# Connect Mintlify Starter Kit to Slack

> Install the Slack integration, configure which notifications go to which channels, and use slash commands to query project status from chat.

The Slack integration keeps your team informed by pushing Mintlify Starter Kit updates directly into your Slack workspace. You choose which events trigger notifications and which channels receive them. You can also query project information using slash commands without leaving Slack.

## Install the Slack integration

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations settings">
    In Mintlify Starter Kit, click your avatar and go to **Integrations**. Find Slack and click **Connect**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Slack">
    You will be redirected to Slack. Select the workspace you want to connect, then click **Allow** to grant Mintlify Starter Kit permission to post messages and use slash commands.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose notification channels">
    Back in Mintlify Starter Kit, map event types to Slack channels. For example, send project updates to #projects and deadline alerts to #alerts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test the connection">
    Click **Send test message** to verify that notifications appear in the selected channel.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Configure notifications

After installation, fine-tune which events trigger Slack messages:

* **Project updates**: Task completions, new comments, status changes
* **Deadline alerts**: Reminders 24 hours before due dates
* **Team changes**: New member invitations, role updates
* **Automation triggers**: Alerts when automation rules run or fail

Go to **Integrations > Slack > Notification settings** to toggle each event type on or off per channel.

## Use slash commands

Once connected, anyone in your Slack workspace can use these commands:

| Command                           | What it does                                   |
| --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `/mintlify status [project-name]` | Show a summary of the project's current status |
| `/mintlify tasks [project-name]`  | List open tasks assigned to you                |
| `/mintlify help`                  | Show available commands and usage tips         |

<Tip>
  You can connect multiple Slack channels to the same Mintlify Starter Kit workspace, so different teams get only the updates they care about.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  If you revoke the Slack app in your Slack workspace, notifications will stop immediately. Reconnect from Integrations settings to restore them.
