# Slack

The Slack API allows you to programmatically trigger messages to individual users or channels.

## Connecting to Slack Workspace

To connect your Slack workspace via its API, follow the steps below:

1. Go to **Data Management** and click on "**New source**" to create a new data source. 
2. Select **Slack** from the list of available data sources.
3. Click on "**Connect to Slack**" and confirm the access request to your workspace when redirected to Slack. This will allow you to send messages to the workspace. After clicking "**Allow**" you will be redirected back to the confirmation page.
4. Save your Slack connection with "**Connect**".

Note: You can configure the data source for two different environments, Staging and Production. You can find more information about it [here](https://docs.uify.io/integrations/broken-reference).
