# Slack: notifications and creating requests from messages

> Connect Slack for channel notifications and create Project Echo requests from messages.

The Slack integration posts feedback activity to channels you choose and lets teammates turn a Slack message into a Project Echo request.

## Connect Slack

1. In your workspace, open **Integrations** in the Workspace nav.
2. Select **Slack**.
3. Click **Add to Slack** and approve the Project Echo app in Slack.
4. Invite the bot to each notification channel with `/invite @Project Echo` (required for private channels too).

## Channel notifications

On the Slack integrations page, configure which events post where:

* New request by member
* New comment by member
* New vote by member
* New request by team member
* New comment by team member

For each event you can:

* Enable or disable notifications
* Pick a channel
* Customize the message template (or reset to the default)

Internal notes do not trigger comment notifications.

## Create a request from a message

1. In Slack, open the **⋯** menu on a message.
2. Choose the **Create request** message shortcut.
3. Fill in the modal (title, board, and related fields as shown).
4. Submit — the request appears in Project Echo with context from the original message.

## Disconnect

Use **Disconnect** on the Slack integrations page to remove the connection. Notification rules are cleared until you reconnect.

## Troubleshooting

* No posts in a channel? Confirm the bot is invited and the event is enabled with the correct channel.
* Shortcut missing? Refresh Slack or reinstall from **Integrations → Slack**.
