# Slack

> Send Scanova notifications to Slack.

The Slack integration connects a Slack workspace to your Scanova account via OAuth, then lets you build named **notification rules** — each one picking a set of events and the channel(s) that should hear about them.

## Prerequisites

* A Slack workspace where you (or an admin) can authorize a new app.
* For **private channels**: the Scanova bot must be invited to the channel before it appears in the channel picker — public channels don't need this.

## Connecting Slack

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Slack integration">
    From **Integrations**, select **Add Integration**, then find the **Slack** card and select **Setup**. Slack opens as its own full page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a workspace">
    Select **Connect Slack**. A popup opens to Slack's own authorization screen — choose the workspace and authorize Scanova to post messages on your behalf.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for confirmation">
    Scanova polls for the connection to complete; once it does, the popup closes and a "Slack workspace connected successfully" toast appears, along with a banner showing the connected workspace name.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Creating a notification rule

Once connected, select **Create rule** to start the 3-step rule builder.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Name your rule">
    Give the rule a short, recognizable name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose event types">
    Select one or more of the following events:

    * Lead Captured
    * QR Code Scan
    * Form Responses
    * QR Code Created
    * QR Code Deleted
    * Page Created
    * Page Deleted
    * Shared User Added
    * Shared User Deleted
    * Custom Domain Added
    * Custom Domain Deleted

    If **Lead Captured** is selected, you must also choose at least one lead list to scope the rule to — otherwise every lead across the account would trigger it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose channels">
    Search and select one or more Slack channels to receive the notifications. Use **Sync channels** to pull a fresh channel list directly from Slack (useful right after connecting, or after creating a new channel in Slack itself).

    <Note>
      A private channel only shows up here after the Scanova bot has been added to it — see Slack's own [bot installation guide](https://docs.slack.dev/legacy/legacy-bot-users/#installing-bot) for how to add a bot to a channel.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

Select **Create rule** to save it. Rules appear in a list showing the rule name, a summary of its events, and the channels it posts to; each rule can be edited or deleted individually. Once the rule list grows past one page, a search box filters by rule name, event, or channel.

## Managing the connection

**Disconnect** (in the connected banner) removes the workspace entirely — every notification rule for it stops sending, and rules/channels are cleared from the view.

## What data flows where

When a matching event occurs — a scan, a lead capture, a form response, or one of the account-management events — Scanova posts a message to every channel configured on any rule that includes that event.
