# Alerts

> Krait not only finds your vulnerabilities, it keeps you connected to your team so you can ship alerts without maintaining multiple interfaces. You can connect Slack to Krait so your team can respond faster to security issues with instant alerts delivered where you already collaborate. 

Krait uses OAuth identity provider to connect to Slack. You can deliver real-time notifications and security alerts directly into your team’s channels by making the connection.

## Connecting Slack

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log into Slack">
    Sign in to your Slack workspace using an account with administrator or app-management permissions. These permissions are required to install and authorize new integrations.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize the Krait App">
    Review and approve the permissions requested by Krait. These include scopes such as **chat:write** and **channels:read**, which allow Krait to post alerts in your workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Slack in Krait">
    Open the Krait dashboard and navigate to **Integrations**, then **Alerts**, then **Slack**, and click **Connect** to continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a Notification Channel">
    Choose the Slack channel where Krait should send security alerts and notifications. This can be an existing team channel or a dedicated monitoring channel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the Integration">
    Confirm your selection. Krait will validate the connection and begin sending alerts to Slack automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

This is how you connect your Slack workspace to Krait to receive security alerts directly in your team’s channels.

Locate **Slack** in your connected integrations and click **Disconnect**. Confirm the prompt to finalize the disconnection. Once disconnected, Krait will no longer send alerts, notifications, or messages to your Slack workspace. You can reconnect Slack at any time from the same integrations settings area if needed.
