# Slack

It's easier for teams to receive and manage alerts together in Slack. With Verb's Slack integration your designated workspace channel will receive notifications when issues arise. You'll receive alerts for the following:

* **Data Source Connection Issues and Resolutions**
  * When Verb loses connectivity to a data source or property in the source.
  * When Verb reestablishes a connection with a data source or property.
* **Authentication Issues**
  * When a viewer attempts to view a collection but there is an issue with the authentication.

Here's how to get started

### Step 1 - Connect your Workspace

First, go to the Integrations tab in [Account Settings](https://web.staging.verbdata.app/#/account-management?envId=%20_\&setting=integrations) 

Then select "Connect" on the Slack Alerts section and you'll be brought to an authorization page. 

Next, sign into the Slack workspace you’d like to integrate, and authorize Verb's access to Slack.

### Step 2 - Select your Channel and Environments

Upon authorizing and returning to Verb, you'll be asked to select the Slack channel to post alerts in and the environments to share alerts with.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verbdata.com/account-settings/integrations/slack.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
